Poker Alliance Confirms Push For Legalization Of Online Poker in the United States
Online poker is widely know around the United States and it has been quite a subject of democracy after April 15, 2011, the day on which poker was rocked by Black Friday. It is also known as the day that forever changed online poker.
Fast forward into 2018, only four states in America have legalized online poker since then and these are Nevada, Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
On the counter side, there are more than 10 states who continue to debate the possibility of legalizing online poker. Unfortunately there hasnât been any progress and it is important to know that the Poker Players Alliance (PPA) was one of the main campaigners that pushed for the legalization of online poker in the recent years.
top10pokersites.net reports that the PPA has faced a number of challenges in the last 12 months which resulted in a name change and a leadership change. The PPA now goes by the new name of Poker Alliance and has a new funding strategy.
The new Poker Alliance confirmed that while it has gone through a name change, its central focus will not change and will continue to push for online poker to be made legal throughout America. The name change is interesting as the term âPlayerâ has been dropped on purpose. The former PPA received flak from US poker players who accused the organization of focusing more on the objectives of poker companies and less on poker players. When the PPA called for poker players to donate funds to help it out of a financial crisis, it got a lukewarm response.
The Poker Alliance will now receive funding from poker companies such as Poker Central and will have their objectives in mind as they campaign. However, the Alliance has confirmed that its central push will remain the same.
Poker Alliance needs to step up efforts, as the former PPA slacked off on its push for online poker legalization in the last 12 months as the organization had to focus on staying afloat. Now that the new Poker Alliance has a different financial model and has corporate sponsors like Poker Central backing it, the Alliance will continue to focus on its campaign.
In a statement written on their About page, the Poker Alliance said:
âPoker Alliance is an organization dedicated to advancing the sport of poker on behalf of poker players in the United States and around the world. Whether you are playing in a neighborâs backyard, at a casino, or via the internet â we want your game to be safe, legal and fair. We also work with casinos, poker companies, and others to ensure you have a safe, fun, and fair game, whenever and wherever you decide to play.â

Sought-after software providerâs enhanced Premium release sees players step into the glow of the Far East as wild symbols and Quadspins combine for huge rewards
With Swintt having already opened the way to a world of wonder in the original Lucky Fortune Door, this month the award-winning software provider is back in action again with Lucky Fortune Door Wild â an exciting reboot that gives players even more ways to win!
Like its SwinttPremium predecessor, Lucky Fortune Door Wild is a five-reel slot that can be played with either five or ten paylines. Boasting an engaging Far East theme, the slot combines dragons, yin and yang pendants and coins with new golden ingot wilds that substitute for all other symbols.
The good news for fans of the original game is that the slotâs signature Quadspin mechanic again makes a welcome return. Activated whenever a win of at least 4x the bet is triggered, players will have the choice to either claim their current prize or gamble a portion of it to activate Quadspins.
Should they decide for the latter option, the gameboard will be divided into four separate reel sets to potentially quadruple the prizes on offer â and of course, with substitute wilds now also in play, the chances of players landing the slotâs maximum 6,000x win multiplier will be greatly increased.
As a further incentive, during Quadspins, an extra mystery symbol is also added to the reels. Should any instances of this icon appear on any of the four reel sets, they will be replaced by a random matching symbol to create additional payline wins and generate potentially huge prizes.
On top of this, should players continue to land wins of 4x their bet or greater during Quadspins, they can elect to remain in the feature for longer. With a maximum of 50 Quadspin available per set, the odds of them embarking on a prolonged winning streak are, therefore, much more likely.
To cap it off, all wins in Lucky Fortune Door Wild are paid from both left-to-right and right-to-left, meaning that no matter how aggressively players choose to play, fortune is only ever a spin away.
David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: âWith Swinttâs signature Quadspin mechanic proving a hugely popular addition to our Premium line-up, weâre delighted to be giving the feature another outing in Lucky Fortune Door Wild. Offering the same great gameplay as the original release but now with added wilds, itâs sure to be a big hit with players and operators alike.â
