The first ever tri-state shared player pool online poker games launched in New Jersey<\/strong>, Nevada<\/strong>, and Delaware<\/strong> on Monday night.<\/p>\n The games were played on the WSOP.com<\/strong> sites in New Jersey and Nevada, 888 Poker<\/strong> in New Jersey, and the 888-powered Delaware online poker network\u2019s Delaware Park<\/strong>, Dover Downs<\/strong> and Harrington Raceway<\/strong> sites.<\/p>\n It appeared some of the sites saw a small bump in traffic<\/strong> and the games went off without any technical problems. The tri-state shared liquidity<\/strong> games actually launched one night before<\/strong> they were expected to.<\/p>\n The sites announced in mid-April they had submitted games and software to regulatory bodies in all three states for testing. Approval was anticipated and the online poker rooms sounded hopeful interstate play<\/strong> would go live on Tuesday, May 1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n New Jersey signed on to the Multi-State Internet Gaming Association<\/strong> (MSIGA) interstate compact in October 2017. Nevada and Delaware online poker sites have shared player pools under the agreement since 2015.<\/p>\n 888 Holdings<\/strong> is the long-time software provider for Caesars Interactive Entertainment <\/strong>and it\u2019s World Series of Poker<\/strong>-branded online poker sites. It also provides a similar service to all three sites in the exclusive Delaware racino online poker network.<\/p>\n 888 and Caesars are the only organizations with sites in all three states.\u00a0That made it obvious they would be the first to apply for and launch tri-state\u00a0shared liquidity<\/strong> games.<\/p>\n Now that the games are live and players in all three states are competing against one another, they can begin to look ahead at a schedule<\/strong> promising to bring larger tournament prize pools and increased cash game traffic across the board.<\/p>\n Of course, the immediate uptick in traffic will be more noticeable in the smaller markets of Nevada and Delaware. However, if WSOP\u2019s head of online poker Bill Rini<\/strong> is correct, significant growth will be seen across all three states over time<\/strong>. Particularly as the increasing numbers continue to attract even more poker players back online for the first time in years.<\/p>\n In fact, all signs point to legal and regulated online poker in the US<\/strong> seeing significant growth over the next while. Pennsylvania lawmakers approved online poker legislation in October 2017. The first sites will likely launch in late 2018.<\/p>\n It will likely double the size of interstate online poker<\/strong> if Pennsylvania becomes the fourth state to sign on to the MSIGA interstate compact. Most expect Pennsylvania<\/strong> to sign on at some point.<\/p>\n Plus, it could create a domino effect with other states on the fence about online poker passing legislation once Pennsylvania goes live.<\/p>\n WSOP NJ – Get $10 No Deposit<\/p>\n<\/div>\nBigger tournament prize pools and more cash game traffic<\/span><\/h2>\n
