Atlantic City Casinos in Rush to find Online Gambling Partners
This was published 21-06-2013Atlantic Citycasinos have received instructions from the New Jersey Gaming Enforcement Division to the effect that they are required to find partners for their potential online gambling operations by the end of the current month. The Enforcement Division has told 12 local casinos that they must arrange internet poker and gambling deals on or before the cut off date of 30th June, 2013.
The reason behind the short period of time given to the casinos is due to the fact that the authorities want to make certain that they are left with sufficient time in which to study the backgrounds and qualifications of these partners. Many casinos, however, feel that this is a relatively short period of time to get organized. Several of the casinos have let it be known that they would like to sign up with offshore based companies and this will necessitate more in depth investigation.
Atlantic City’s Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa has revealed that it has struck a deal with Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment that was made possible due to the privately owned company’s tremendous platform and huge market share.
Other casinos, which include Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City, the Showboat Casino Hotel, Bally’sAtlantic Cityand Caesars Atlantic City are still in the process of weighing up their options.
Although the group has not yet made a final decision, Trump Entertainment Resorts, the owner of two casinos inAtlantic City, has revealed that the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort and the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino will each sign up with a different online poker software provider.
Robert Griffin, the Chief Executive Officer of Trump Entertainment, said that their choices are solid and that it will come down to who gives them the best deal for all their shareholders, and who has the strongest brand in gaming.
According to the authorities, unless casinos give the names of their potential online gambling partners, there is no guarantee that they will be permitted to start offering internet poker and casino games to their customers on the first day that online gambling is allowed in the state, which is hoped to be around Thanksgiving this year.
