Nevada’s Rampart Casino Launches New Online Poker Game

A relatively small Las Vegas area casino has developed a state-of-the-art digital poker game that features advanced technology and enhanced jackpot payouts.

In case you are wondering, only seven states offer online casino gaming, and Nevada is not one of them. However, mobile sports betting is legal, and so too is multiplayer online poker. That’s where Rampart Casino’s newest digital offering, 5 Card Draw Poker, comes into play. 

Rampart Casino is nestled inside the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa in Summerlin, Nevada, but with their newest online poker game, Nevadans won’t even have to leave the comfort of their favorite chair to experience Rampart’s 5 Card Draw Poker. Created in concert with Real Gaming, the app is expected to be a fan favorite of poker players everywhere. Everywhere within the boundaries of Nevada, that is. 

This is a multiplayer game, but bonus money can be earned by hitting four-of-a-kind, which pays up to $175, or the lucky holder of a royal straight flush that will fetch up to $4500. New players will receive a $10 bonus with a minimum deposit, and the game can be played on iOS or Android devices. 

Online Poker: Alive & Well 

In February 2013, Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval signed bill AB114 into law, and within two months the state’s first online poker site, Ultimate Poker, was up and running. However, Ultimate Poker had a short shelf life in Nevada, shuttering operations in November the following year. 

Yet, it was not the only digital poker site in the Silver State, as WSOP.com would become the major player, and nothing has changed. But then the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA) was drafted between Nevada and Delaware in 2015, which New Jersey joined three years later. Michigan joined the consortium in May 2022 to bring even more poker players under one digital roof. In 2024, Delaware stopped offering online poker to its residents and is no longer part of the pact. 

In a bit of irony, Nevada does not offer online casino gaming, only online poker, despite it being the undisputed gambling mecca in North America. The approximate 200 land-based casinos supply billions in tax dollars to the state government, and many fear that online casino gaming, also known as iGaming, could jeopardize the retail business and lead to job losses. 

However, some studies have shown that iGaming does not have any deleterious effects on land-based casinos, and there are whispers that Nevada casinos may be warming to the idea of digital gaming, assuming, of course, they get a piece of the profits.
