Online Gambling now legal in Las Vegas

[wwwrungood]

Vegas might start some online poker sites but still think it'll take some time to get anything actually going.

Are players going to be able to play at pokerstars?

I live in North Carolina and am playing on-line poker as I am typing...............

1 State down (Maybe 2 if NJ is in) 49 to Go

I knew Nevada would be in on this before long. Vegas knows how much money they stand to gain by getting in on this. I can see them eventually having online poker rooms where they offer comps and incentives to get people to come to Vegas in person via online play bonuses.

yes but remember Vegas is about themselves not us. In the long run they have to make out. Live is how they roll not on-line. That is why they comp the drinks and stuff to get the players drunk and not pay attention to poker lol. I can be wrong but Vegas is the worst place to have the first American on-line poke site/sites.

I will be a million air selling tin foil hats so maybe I will be on this band wagon................

I think Nevada is making sure legalize online poker right away, because it gives Nevada casino operators the chance to get sites opened up legally before the rest of the country. This means they will have a head start making money off the other 49 states as the domino effect starts, and allows Nevada to increase revenue from sources outside of the state.

Also, South Point Casino in Las Vegas was running a poker site last year that gave away 10 seats to the Main Event. Most people were speculating that they were doing it to build up a base in case online poker was legalized.

Once everything opens up, we'll have tournaments there (and hopefully redeems) but, thats probably a good year+ out. They still need to work out the details and regulations.

veryy coooll news, zab.! but for now, work on still getting us the other sites for freerolls now too
