Players from all countries can PLAY!
Nevada, Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey (specifically Atlantic City) has been basking within the glow of legalized online gaming. Only Nevada has actually gotten their poker games up and running for players throughout the state (intra-state, Nevada-only players), however the other states aren't too far behind. It's obvious that there's a huge marketplace for Internet poker within the US, it's just those pesky guys in Washington DC that keep getting access shut all the way down to US players.
However, using a clue from the David Sklansky book of poker Gap Theory, the states above parred back their quest of all the US market and took their fight to individual states. Until now.
In the following logical (and highly anticipated) step toward getting Internet poker back online for US players, Gov. Brian Sandoval of Nevada and Gov. Jack Markell of Delaware signed an agreement to ascertain a legal framework for interstate Internet gambling. In fact that does not guarantee anything on the national level, but it surely does mean the 2 states at the moment are working together, with Gibraltar-based 888 Holdings, to design a system for players in both Nevada and Delaware to compete over virtual green-felt tables.
If all goes well, players in Nevada will soon be capable to play against those in Delaware, and the most obvious domino effect comes in no time after that to incorporate increasingly more states (because most states won't need to be not noted of the taxation party, I hope, I'M HOPING) until many people might be in a position to play poker online again. Against crazy players, for real money.
