Now players are starting to wonder why there are no Vegas online casinos. And in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, what's the future of cashless gaming? Nevada could regulate online casinos.

The law that legalized and regulated online poker in the state also allows for Vegas online casinos and only requires the authorization for Nevada lawmakers. The Nevada Gaming Policy Committee has addressed the original concerns that online casino games might cannibalize existing land-based casino revenues. They reference the successful New Jersey casino market as an example.
