(Chicago Tribune) -?With Nevada among the first states readying to legalize online and mobile gaming, Waukegan-based?WMS Industries?wants a seat a the virtual poker table.
The casino game maker announced Tuesday that it has submitted an application to the State Gaming Control Board in Nevada for an interactive gaming license.
Online gambling is illegal for U.S. residents, but in the absence of federal law, states such as Nevada are are moving forward with efforts to allow it. Last April, websites of four of the largest players: Full Tilt Poker, Absolute Poker, PokerStars and UB were shut down and seized by the?FBI?on charges of bank fraud, money laundering and illegal gambling. Ten more sites were seized the following month.
WMS hopes its success at casinos can translate to online. The company has a U.K.-based online casino game at JackpotParty.com that has won awards. Another game, Lucky Cruise, is a slot-machine like social media application on?Facebook?that uses credits instead of money.
?We have made significant progress in our development of a technology and entertainment content base that will help our customers unlock the emerging opportunities provided through online capabilities,? said Orrin Ediden, president of WMS.
