Nevada gaming regulators have okayed a new deal between American casino operator Caesars, Cassava Enterprises and Fordart Limited, two subsidiaries of Gibraltar-based gaming giant 888 Holdings, in a move that could signify the beginning of an American online gambling industry.
Few details about the deal have been released, but analysts point out that the approval signifies a shift in the American gaming community towards a more lenient stance on the online gambling community.
Players needn’t get too excited, however, as virtual casino games like online roulette, slots and poker are still prohibited in the U.S. Yet while the deal changes nothing for American players, it does speak well for the online gambling legalization movement, which has grown substantially in recent years, even seeing pro-gaming legislation nearly passed in New Jersey, Florida, California and more.
Analysts believes that Caesars pursued the partnership to expand its brand in Europe and create inroads that will connect them with a respected hardware and software development in the event that online gambling is legalized in the States.
