内华达州宣布在线扑克合法化

11892929

内华达州成为美国第一个允许人们进行真钱在线扑克游戏的州，只要是该州居民且至少年满21周岁。

该州宣布UltimatePoker.com正式经营，每晚推出特色的1000美元奖金的比赛，周日更有奖池达1万美元的高额比赛。

“对内华达州来说，这是新的一天，”里诺博彩分析家肯亚当斯在“今日美国”说道。

内华达州在二月份为在线扑克进行了快速立法，UltimatePoker收到了博彩监管机构的最终授权，从本月周二开始，进行为期30天的试运营。


在线玩家必须年满21周岁，而且只能在内华达州范围内，通过UltimatePoker“完整和先进”的软件进行游戏。


新泽西州和特拉华州，这两个通过在线博彩合法化赚取税收的州，也希望跟内华达州一样尽快开放在线扑克领域。

Nevada announces start of legal online poker

Nevada has become the first U.S. state to allow people to play poker online for money legally, as long as they are at least 21 and a resident of the state.

The state announced UltimatePoker.com is live, featuring nightly games with prizes of $1,000 and a higher-stakes game with a $10,000 pool on Sundays.

"This is, for Nevada, a new day," Reno gaming analyst Ken Adams told USA Today.

Nevada fast-tracked legislation in February authorizing online poker, and Ultimate Poker received final approval from gaming regulators this month for a 30-day field trial starting Tuesday.

Players must be at least 21 years old and physically within the state's boundaries to play, with UltimatePoker officials say will be policed by the company's "complicated and sophisticated" software.

New Jersey and Delaware, which have legalized online gambling to increase tax revenues, are expected to follow Nevada in the online poker arena soon.
