MGM Resorts<\/strong><\/p>\n

MGM Resorts Online has partnered with Party.BWIN to provide their software to MGM Resorts\u2019 players.\u00a0 It is expected that MGM will brand several of their popular casino properties into online poker rooms.\u00a0 These brands include Bellagio, MGM and Aria.\u00a0 Boyd Gaming is also a member of this partnership where Party.BWIN will own 65% of the company, MGM will own 25%, and Boyd Gaming will own 10%.\u00a0 The partnership has not yet been named.\u00a0 While Boyd Gaming was approved for a license last month, Party.BWIN has yet to have a hearing in front of the state\u2019s licensing board.<\/p>\n

Z4 LLC<\/strong><\/p>\n

Z4 is based in Las Vegas and was founded in 2012 by David Colvin.\u00a0 Z4 Poker has applied for an Interactive Gaming Service Provider and Manufacturer and Distributor of Interactive Gaming Systems in Nevada.\u00a0 According to the company\u2019s website at Z4.com, \u201cZ4 Poker is developing an Interactive Gaming platform to meet Nevada\u2019s regulations governing poker. \u00a0Z4\u2019s platform will be designed to deliver any game, to any device, anywhere legally permissible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nevada Poker to Launch in 2013?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In other Nevada online poker news, the Nevada Gaming Control Board sent a letter to all potential online poker license applicants Thursday.\u00a0 The subject of the letter was \u201cRevisions to the CPA Guidelines and MICS Compliance Checklists and to the Internal Audit Guidelines and Compliance Checklists for Interactive Gaming\u201d.\u00a0 The deadline for public comments is November 7th<\/sup> and a meeting will be held on November 13th<\/sup> if there are any suggestions that need to be addressed.\u00a0 While most of this is just a formality, there is a hint in the letter about when online poker in Nevada might start.\u00a0 These guidelines would go into effect on January 1, 2013.\u00a0 This seems to make it likely that online poker in Nevada will not be live in 2012 like was originally planned by operators such as South Point Poker.\u00a0 That group optimistically announced a Fall 2012 launch time for their Nevada online poker room.\u00a0 It appears that this will not happen.<\/p>\n

There has been a lot of speculation that online poker in Nevada is on hold until after this session of Congress ends on January 3, 2013.\u00a0 This would give the federal government a chance to pass online poker regulations during the lame duck session which could change the plan for Nevada going forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
