It seems this may be what Nevada has been waiting to see for their economy to show signs of recovery.
The Political Games in the US Continue
It seems Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona has blocked the appointment of four treasury positions because he is angry with the Obama administration for the pause on the rule implementation of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA). The rules were originally to be put into place on Jan. 1, 2010 but have been delayed until June 1, 2010.
The regulations were written in late 2008, in the last months of the Bush administration, following the passage in 2006 of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, a bill that strengthened anti-gambling laws. After Barack Obama became president, the Treasury delayed rules intended to implement the anti-gaming statute at the request of Barney Frank, a Democratic congressman who opposed the regulations, and the banking industry.
The treasury is considered dangerously understaffed with the block of positions. "It is hard to imagine that it does not have a deleterious effect," said Bush-era Treasury staffer Clay Lowery of Kyl's political maneuvering. The White House claims the matters of national security are being handled, though stated that a full complement of leadership positions is important to the Department's proper workings.

New Jersey Considers Legalized Online Gambling
Well, looks like lawmakers in the US might really be coming to their senses, at least where online gambling is concerned. A newly proposed law would make it legal for New Jersey residents to play at online casinos run by the state's casinos in Atlantic City. Though residents are already allowed to place bets on horses online, this law would allow betting on games such as Poker, Blackjack, roulette, slots and Baccarat. The bill was introduced into the New Jersey senate by Senator Raymond Lesniak (D-Union), who also introduced a separate bill which calls for New Jersey residents to vote on a constitutional amendment that would allow state-regulated sports wagering in Atlantic City casinos, and to state residents via an intra-state Internet gambling system.
"We’re happy that New Jersey has taken the issue into their own hands," said Interactive Media Entertainment and Gaming Association chairman Joe Brennan Jr. "New Jersey is recognised as having the toughest gaming regulations in the US, but as a leading gaming state with a long track record of doing things the right way, internet gambling will have a great home here and can begin normalising the industry."
