In an interview with pokerstars representatives, they told the legislature that they would need to hire over 1000 employees just to begin operations in the state. With the unemployment one of the highest in the country here, Im sure this will fly through the process.

I don't see them getting past the federal ban.

That might be a ballbreaker, but at least that state is stepping up and trying to make something happen. Right on.

Bump!

If everybody doesn't see a connection between the one State in the United States (Nevada), mobilizing its two major legislative bodies (Vegas & Reno), towards getting the "On Line" Gaming market legalized & Its would be Major competitors (Stars & Tilt) excluded from the market and crippled, well then you don't understand truly artful workings of capitalism. It kind of makes me proud in a fuked up way.

The real reason PS & FT now don't allow US players. Corruption at it's best.

navada don't allow powerball or megamillion either.

with the amount of money this produces, you would think they would want it.

funny thing, can't play online poker or play lottery but can have medical mary jane.

but then vegas is weird, you get arrested for jay walking.

Don't you guys have some sort of ammendment that allows provisions to take up arms against your government if they fail to serve the people? I'd do that if I were you.

It would. Our leaders would finally be able to do things without your leaders threatening sanctions upon us. And we'd finally get back in control of our water and oil supplies...

PokerStars looks to be a shaky applicant for approval according to this article but I know from a dinner conversation 2 weeks ago, (with who I cant say but it doesn't get any higher), that PS will apply again very soon and it will be rushed approved.

Not Official, and you dont have to believe me, just remember I said it. :D

Hmmm, after reading this article it appears to me that Pokerstars application would have a pretty good chance to be approved in Nevada. Bottom line is that it would appear to be a win/win for both Pokerstars and the state of Nevada.....

Nevada Online Poker Applications List Hits 32

32 companies have applied for Nevada Gaming licenses.

http://pokerfuse.com/news/law-and-regulation/nevada-online-poker-applications-list-hits-32/

11 Operators
17 Manufacturers
24 Service Providers

(adds up to more than 32 because some companies have applied in multiple categories)

$500K for a license. Wow.

Other articles talk about going live this fall. Should be interesting for those that live in Nevada with brand new poker software.

Not only will South Point be offering online poker in Nevada, they have also developed their own software platform. Though South Point has been offering play-money poker through the ZEN Entertainment Network, they will use a new software product developed in-house when it goes live this fall. Independent testing of the software has already passed its first stage, the second phase is expected to begin later this month.

I'm just hoping that after South Point launches, all the other governments (states and the fed) start to panic and realize they are missing out on money, and then they all legalize it.

I doubt there are enough online players in Nevada to make this fiscally viable. Certainly no more than 2 sites will survive as long as they restrict thing to Nevada residents. However, the only thing that makes it weird about offering these sites out of state would be how would the players fund their accounts. Nice tourism hook, 'Come to Vegas', fund your OLP accounts. Now that would be the kick in the ass that other states would need to deal with the issue.

Better for most all of us would be for most of the states to do a collective thing not unlike Powerball, In fact, using the Powerball alliance could be the foundation of it happening, and would be a good hook for the Powerball Lottery.

The way I understand it, there will be additional B&M casinos launching their own sites which will be available to residents here in NV as well as all currently legal markets, like Canada and Europe.

These don't really do anything for me. What gives me a semi is that fact that the major players like PokerStars have made themselves Nevada corporations in one form or another allowing them too to take advantage of the market here as well as whatever growth, here in the States, becomes of it.

will be intresting to see how they tax because the big money over a long period of time is the little tourney's .1c-5.00$ hard to make a tax bracket out of that unless they tax the take and not the winnings
