New Jersey Online Gambling Brief January 16, 2014

Myself and my fellow followers of the US iGaming industry were kept quite busy this week as the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement dropped the first ever report on online gambling revenue in our laps, giving us plenty of numbers to crunch, data to extrapolate, and conclusions to be drawn. Fortunately for you, I’ll skip the boring stuff for you and just bring you the highlights in this column. But breaking-down data wasn’t the only thing keeping me busy. […]

Online Casino Review: Golden Nugget

Online Casino Review: Golden Nugget

Since being purchased by Landry’s in 2011, the casino formerly known as the Trump Marina has undergone extensive renovations. First, it was re-branded as the Golden Nugget—a name that has become nearly synonymous with casino gambling. Shortly thereafter, Landry’s spent approximately $150 million transforming the outdated hotel into a modern marvel. Its remodeling efforts culminated in the opening of a luxurious, 13 table poker room in December 2013. And now, with the assistance of Bally Technologies, the Golden Nugget has rolled out […]

Online Casino Review: Harrah’s

Of Caesars Entertainment’s four Atlantic City properties, Harrah’s Resort is by far the most prestigious. Looking at it, one would be hard pressed to believe that it was constructed more than 30 years ago. But thanks to a slew of timely renovations, including a 2008 overhaul that saw the opening of a new pool, spa and the Waterfront Tower, Harrah’s is the only Atlantic City casino not to be completely overshadowed by the majestic Borgata. So it makes sense that […]

But now, thanks to the legalization of Internet gaming in New Jersey and a timely partnership with the world’s leading betting exchange, the downtrodden casino appears ready to reemerge as a force in the east coast’s gambling landscape.

Located in the heart of Atlantic City’s infamous Broadwalk, Trump Taj Mahal is one of two properties owned by one of the most recognizable names in NJ gaming – Trump Entertainment.

However, thanks to the legalization of online gambling, the legendary casino is poised to make a long overdue comeback. And its […]

Online Casino Review: Tropicana

Online Casino Review: Tropicana

Shortly after Governor Christie signed legislation legalizing online gaming, Atlantic City casinos would begin seeking partnerships with the very best iGaming providers. The Tropicana, one of AC’s largest Boardwalk based resorts, would find their crown jewel in Gamesys. A leading UK online gaming provider, Gamesys is the driving force behind the exceedingly popular Jackpotjoy.com, and other highly-touted virtual gaming platforms. Tropicana received New Jersey’s fifth iGaming permit from the DGE in late-October 2013, which allowed them to participate in the state’s […]
