Online poker fans are hopeful that two companies that won approval to extend their licensing for the 14th time will be able to deliver on products that will enable them to play against people in Nevada and other states within the next year.
Nevada Gaming Commissioners on Thursday approved waivers for extensions for Las Vegas-based Z4Poker LLC and MGM Resorts Interactive LLC.
The MGM game, which is expected to be brought to market by the company’s BetMGM affiliate, was unanimously approved while the Z4 request was approved 3-1 with Commissioner Rosa Solis-Rainey opposing and Commissioner Ogonna Brown recusing herself from discussion. Solis-Rainey said she opposed approval because of the length of time the small company has been before regulators and the repeated extensions allowed.
