Last December, PokerCollectif informed you that Caesars Interactive received its license to operate in Nevada.
At this time, Seth Palansky, Vice President of Corporate Communications for Caesars, stated: "we want to thank the Commission for its efforts throughout this process. He did y no doubt about the fact that they are studying the files at bottom and ensure that Nevada is the best market regulated for online poker. We look forward to serving the people of Nevada when we're done with the steps necessary to achieve this."
At that time, it was believed that online poker would be launched in Nevada during the world series of poker (under the banner of WSOP). It was supposed to be the fruit of the union of 888 Holding and Caesars Interactive Entertainment.
Today, we learn that 888 will open its platform independent game in New Jersey. As a reminder, 888 has no less than four licenses in New Jersey to operate. So, 888 Holding will indeed provide the software to Caesars Interactive Entertainment, but will also offer its platform independent game in New Jersey, that place in a very good position to enter the U.S. when market regulation of online poker will be clearer in the Uncle Sam. Caesars has the ambition to offer the online poker in Nevada and New Jersey. Because 888 seems to want to make walking only, it is not impossible that it separates little by Little Caesars that will probably work in the future on the barrier Poker platform (which should operate the WSOP online room).
During this time, PokerStars has just signed formally partnered with Resorts Casino Club, a group with several institutions in New Jersey, but also in other States, including the famous Mohegan Sun (in Connecticut). The agreement concluded by the two parties, however, must still be ratified by the New Jersey gaming commission.
