John McManus, executive vice president, general counsel and secretary with MGM Resorts, said the company and Boyd Gaming Corp. will be partnering with real money poker firm Bwin.party Digital Entertainment Plc, however, Bwin.party is not expected to receive its license for another year. 

"Bwin.party license application is currently in the process of being investigated," said A.G. Burnett, chairman of the Gaming Control Board. "At some point next year, (they'll) be on an agenda for final approval."

Once Bwin.party is licensed, MGM Resorts and Boyd Gaming would go live with their real money websites.
