Nevada
Nevada Three states will have lawmakers discussing new online casino legislation in the coming weeks, with Nevada, the gaming capital of the US, leading the way. Florida and Iowa are other states that are also considering online poker legislation.

New Jersey lawmakers have already attempted to become the first state to regulate online gambling, but the legislators failed. Now it is a race between Nevada, Iowa, Florida, and California. Each states has different reasons why they could, and should, be the first state to regulate Internet gaming.

The Sunshine State has made major advancements in their gambling industry over the past several years. Lawmakers in Florida are not only considering online gambling legislation, but are discussing the possibility of Las Vegas-style casino resorts as well.

California has been one of the most liberal states when it comes to gambling, having dozens of land-based casinos. Lawmakers believe that adding online poker regulations would bring millions of dollars to the state budget, and beating Nevada to online gamblers may have big benefits for California.

Iowa is another state that has long been liberal when it comes to casino gambling. Legislators in Iowa are considering online gambling at a time when the governor is seeking to raise the taxes on gambling revenue at the land-based casinos.

Nevada is the most logical choice to become the first online gambling state because of their rich history in the gaming industry. Most gaming companies are opening up to the idea of online casinos, but Caesars Entertainment is leading the charge on a federal level.
