Since Black Friday rocked the poker world on close to six years ago on April 15, 2011, just three states in Delaware, Nevada, and New Jersey have passed legislation to permit regulated online poker.
Last year, New York seemingly out of nowhere appeared to quickly momentum to potentially become the fourth state after online poker legislation introduced by New York State Senator John Bonacic passed the senate by an overwhelming 53-5 majority. However, this momentum came to a crashing halt once the state's other legislative body, the Assembly, failed to even vote on the bill and instead passed a Daily Fantasy Sports bill before the session ended.
