Irish bookie heading to Silver State

Paddy Power looks likely to be the first European operator to obtain an online gaming licence in Nevada, following a recent application to the state’s gaming commission.

It has applied for a licence as a manufacturer and operator of mobile gaming devices, hoping to exploit new rules which allow them to be used for gambling throughout casino properties and not only on the gaming floor.

It may, however, face tough competition in the form of Cantor Gaming, which has pioneered off-floor gaming in Las Vegas and secured a number of major contracts there.

But the licence, if obtained, would also position Paddy Power to enter the online Poker market in Nevada, which is expected to be one of the first states in the U.S. to permit e-gaming.

A decision on the licence application is expected in November. Rivals William Hill and Betfair have also shown interest in the Nevada market, and invested in U.S. counterparts to gain a foothold there.
