Just as PokerStars and the Wynn Resorts recently partnered up on a venture to unite live and LEGALIZED online poker in the United States, it looks like the #2 online poker site behind them is now also following suit with a similar move.

Poker giant Full Tilt Poker announced this week that they will be working hand in hand with Fertitta Interactive on a joint deal that would bolster support for online poker legalization in not just Nevada, but also around all of USA.

For those of you unfamiliar with Fertitta Interactive they are the main company behind mid-level casinos like the Red Rock Resort, Boulder Station and Alliante Station, and are hoping to make a big splash by partnering with a large online poker website such as Full Tilt – especially if online poker and gambling ever becomes legal here in America.

It is unknown at the moment if this will eventually boost additional support for the online gaming bill attempting to be pushed through in the state of Nevade currently, but Assembly Bill 258 is still holding strong support for it despite casino conglomerates like Caesars Entertainment strongly opposing such legal drafts.

We’ll keep you posted on the story as it continues to unfold, as well as bring you updates on any other casinos partnering up with other online gambling sites.
