(via Hollywood2020) We don’t cover much of mobile gambling, but this one might have larger implications: In Nevada (home to Las Vegas), a new law has been approved by the Governor that allows use of wireless, handheld gambling devices in the state’ss hotel-casinos. State Gov. Kenny Guinn signed AB471, a bill initiated by Cantor G&W, an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald, the New York-based financial services company that says an adaptation of its interactive bond-trading technology will work for casino gambling.
Proponents of the devices say the remote gambling option, in public locations at resorts and not in hotel rooms or other private areas, would help Nevada casinos stay competitive despite the expansion of Indian casinos, Internet betting and of resorts elsewhere in the country and around the world.
