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 inside 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 right 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 of 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 determine 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 are actually 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 an increasing number of states (because most states won't need to be disregarded of the taxation party, I hope, I'M HOPING) until many people can be in a position to play poker online again. Against crazy players, for real money.
