The State of Nevada is currently mulling legalizing online poker. A previous bill, S. 677, was unsuccessful, but has been revived for the current legislative session. In 2016, the Senate Racing, Gaming and Wagering Committee passed the bill, but it failed to gain floor votes. In 2017, similar legislation passed by a majority of 54 to 8; however, it never made it past the Assembly Standing Committee on Racing and Wagering.

The most popular game of online poker is Texas Hold’em. This game begins with two hold cards for each player and is played with the aim of building the best Texas Hold’em hand and winning the pot. Similarly, you want to force your opponent to fold before the showdown. This game is popular among newcomers and is played by many professional players. But it doesn’t mean you have to be a professional player to enjoy the game.

It is worth noting that online poker is different from online casinos, and that the majority of players play with real money. To play online, you need to download a desktop software client. This will allow you to play on multiple tables and ensure a stable game experience. Some sites even offer free poker applications, which can be downloaded to your computer.

Online poker is legal in several US states. Pennsylvania regulated the game in 2017 and went live in November. Michigan has also recently legalized the game. In addition, West Virginia recently passed legislation authorizing online poker. While virtual poker hands haven’t been dealt yet, it’s an important step toward legalizing online poker in the United States.
