10/27/2000 US Online Gambling System Tested
The Wall Street Journal reported that Coast Resorts Inc. plans to launch an online sports betting system for Nevada residents within a week. However Nevada Gaming Control Board member Dennis Neilander said the system's software was still going through the approval process. Although a 30-day field trial could be approved within the week, it does not constitute final approval, Neilander warned. Coast Resorts plans to offer the betting service through a online system developed by Virtgame.com of San Diego. The service allows sports bets to be placed through a closed-loop intranet system, accessible only to Coast Resorts account holders. The system cannot be accessed from outside the state.
