The Nevada Gaming Control Board has confirmed that Zynga filed an application for a preliminary finding of suitability to hold a gaming license in the US. In the past, Nevada has allowed companies to offer online poker, but it does not appear that Zynga requested permission to offer any specific type of online games.
Zynga has not unveiled any additional details. The company currently offers titles such as Zynga Poker, which enables players to buy in with real money but only cash out with virtual currency.
In October 2012, Zynga has revealed plans to partner with Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment to offer real-money poker and even casino-styled games in the UK beginning with 2013.
