New Jersey residents will soon be able to play slots, bet on the spin of the roulette wheel, or double down in blackjack. That is because New Jersey is legalizing the ability to bet without having to set foot within Atlantic City, thanks to mobile gambling.
While Las Vegas beat the state when it came to being able to bet online, Jersey is now passing a law to bet through mobile devices, to the delight of many.
The state's Division of gaming Enforcement stated on Friday that it would allow for city's dozen or so casinos to offer gambling which will go into effect starting November 26. The agency also released regulations giving operators a clearer set of rules to how exactly the process will work.
The announcement means that all cylinders for the legalization are running in perfect order for fans of the gaming industry. New Jersey will now be the third state to allow internet gaming, and is expected to produce revenue within the billions.
"This is just the first step, in my opinion, to making New Jersey the Silicon Valley of internet gaming," state Sen. Raymond Lesniak (D-Union), the chief proponent of online gambling in the state Legislature, said Friday.
There are many who questioned if the state was ready for the lack of regulations from the governor who originally vetoed the earlier versions of the legalization. That move put pressure on the casinos, however, to make stronger concessions.
"It’s scary now, because there it is, a date on a calendar you’ve got to hit," said Seth Palansky, a spokesman for Caesars Interactive Entertainment, whose parent company owns four of the city’s casinos. "It really did seem a few months ago that this was not a target date that could be hit. So, kudos to them for getting all the necessary stuff done. I will say, though, there’s a ways to go."
