A Historic Deal Merges Online Casino Gambling

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 8:34 am

On Tuesday Nevada and Delaware came to an agreement that let residents of each state compete against each other in online poker. Both of these states made the move to regulate online gambling last year, so this deal is very important.

This is a great opportunity for online gambling as a whole to make a progressive shift towards merging it’s player base. This means large expected increases in revenue as well as player retention, and many analysts think this could lead to more open regulations in other key states later on down the line.

Analyst Grant Sheridan called this deal “historic” and “a game changer.” Most online casino owners are claiming he’s right as well.

Arguably the most exciting part of this deal is that it left room to include other states in the future, as more begin to regulate online gambling. Having this drafted means that when other states are ready to join, they will be able to do so quickly and easily. Most analysts have predicted that when the projected increased revenues have officially been made, other states will make a move to join this network.

As expected, Nevada was the pioneer in opening an online casino towards the end of last year. Since then, New Jersey and Delaware have followed suit. New Jersey got off to a bit of a slow start rolling out their online gambling, but are now back on track and are confident they will meet expectations. Chris Christie said that the slow start was more about unrealistic expectations than underperformance.

This deal covers most of the key regulations that all states must follow, but each state does have some freedom to operate within this deal as well. For example, each state will have the ability to choose the stakes at their casinos as well as what games are offered.

This new deal means that online gambling will be making a shift towards becoming more common and accessible, and this is a great time to start learning if you are interested. It’s very possible that you will have the ability to have convenient, regulated, online gambling in your state relatively soon.

Among the games that will be made available are blackjack, roulette, craps, baccarat, keno, and of course, poker. Poker is one of the driving engines behind the online gambling movement, and it’s something that will be around for quite a long time.

It’s an exciting new time for online gambling. Regardless of what games you play, your ability to easily play what you love or try something new is about to get much easier.
