Zynga is in "active conversations with potential partners" regarding online gambling opportunities.
"Zynga Poker is the world's largest online poker game with more than seven million people playing every day and over 30 million each month," a Zynga spokesman said in a statement to All Things Digital.
"We know from listening to our players that there's an interest in the real money gambling market. We're in active conversations with potential partners to better understand and explore this new opportunity."
The social games developer announced Zynga Casino late last year, which will provide a platform for Zynga Poker and its upcoming bingo game.
But Zynga will have to negotiate stringent US legislation before it is able to launch such a service. It must also ensure it has the correct licences and secure technology to host online gambling.
A Facebook spokesperson also added that the social network doesn't have any plans to enter into real-money gambling at this time, but Facebook developer Double Down Interactive was acquired earlier in the month by video poker specialist International Game Technology, lending further credence to Facebook's potential as an online gambling portal.
