Zynga, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZNGA) moved up on online gambling approval. Nevada governor Brian Sandoval signed legislation allowing gambling online, after the Nevada State Senate and Assembly approved the bill. Approval comes after New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie vetoed a similar bill, but said he might sign an amended version next week.
"This is an historic day for the great state of Nevada," Sandoval was quoted as saying. "Today I sign into law the framework that will usher in the next frontier of gaming in Nevada."
Zynga, which provides the popular Zynga Texas Hold &aposEm and Slots apps, has looked to online gambling as a way to expand its revenue base beyond advertising and in-game purchases.
