Online poker play may be making a comeback in Nevada.

Playing poker over the internet became a thing in the state in the early 2010s when Strip and locals casinos saw a niche and opened poker rooms in their properties and the Nevada Legislature sought ways to expand play and enable local companies to generate new revenue.

Proponents reasoned that some players, once hooked with an online version of the game, would find their way to casinos where they not only could play poker, but also gamble at other games and maybe buy a meal or two.

To be sure, online poker requires a different skill set than those in live rooms.
