Delaware goes live with online free play

Delaware goes live today with free to play online games

Wednesday the 28th August at 6am local time will see the smallest state to legalise online gambling go live with free to play slots, poker, bingo and all casino games.

Delaware along with Nevada and New Jersey has legalised gambling and unlike Nevada all types of online gambling are allowed compared to Nevada which has only legalised online poker.

With a population in the state of less than 1 million residents officials will want to join compacts with other states quickly when real money online gambling starts proper in November.

“The first phase will allow us to get players acclimated with the virtual world,” said Secretary of Finance Thomas Cook. Delaware was the first state to legalise online gambling back in June 2012, but has fallen behind in launching mainly because of the excitement of the larger states going live.

The states three casinos will be hosting the online gambling which are Dover Downs, Harrington Raceway and Casino and Delaware Park along with their partners offering online software. Some of the largest software providers which are licensed in the state so far are IGT, Scientific Games and 888 Holdings.
