After Iowa, New Jersey and California, Nevada is set to regulate its Online Poker industry. The bill aims to standardise industry rules and legalize online poker.
The bill has not yet been introduced the state assembly, but it is believed that while online poker will be legalised, the status of other online gambling games will not change. The state advices legalising and regulating online poker as it would increase revenue; it also suggests that the state's experience in regulating gambling will make it easier for the government to handle online poker.
Interestingly, Last year Senator Harry Reid of Nevada tried to pass a similar bill on the federal level, and the opposition is against the bill, not because it is against online poker, but because it sees internet as a federal realm.
