Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval has sent a letter to federal lawmakers supporting a bill to legalize online poker. Sandoval’s letter was delivered to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Speaker John Boehner, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
It outlines the reasoning for a federal framework enabling states to regulate their own gaming industries in the online world.
“While many states have long-standing proficiency in regulating brick-and-mortar gaming within their boundaries, the advent of
Internet gaming has introduced a borderless element that state regulation alone cannot address,” Sandoval’s letter said.
Sandoval said he supports the efforts of Reid and Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl, who have worked on legislation to legalize Internet poker.
