Players in Nevada and Delaware have been able to play online poker against each other since 2015.
The agreement announced Friday by New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie will allow New Jersey players to join in with poker and other online games once regulators in all three states approve an operator and the game software.

Figures released Thursday by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement showed online gambling took in $20.4 million last month, up 25 percent over last year.
