IGT is the latest name to receive recommendation for an online gaming licence by the Nevada State Gaming Control Board.
The US-based company, which has a substantial interactive business unit, plans to partner with Nevada casino operators to provide online poker to their players.
“This important step will allow IGT to better support our customers as they expand their offerings to their players to include interactive wager based entertainment,” said IGT CEO Patti Hart. “We are thrilled to be at the forefront of this exciting and necessary expansion of gaming in the US.”
The final decision will be made by the Nevada Gaming Commission at its upcoming meeting on June 21.
Fellow games developer Bally Technologies has also received the board’s recommendation.
