Golden Nugget awarded second New Jersey egaming permit
Casino's online business will operate under GoldenNuggetPoker.com and GoldenNuggetCasino.com
The Golden Nugget Atlantic City has been awarded the second egaming licence by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, with the site to begin a five-day trial on 21 November.
The Golden Nugget will be one of the first operators to offer online and mobile real-money wagering in the Garden State. Bally Technologies will serve as casino’s main technology provider, pending a supplier licence from the DGE.
Players within the borders of New Jersey will be able to log-on to GoldenNuggetPoker.com and GoldenNuggetCasino.com when the state goes live with online gambling on 26 November.
“All players that desire to gamble online deserve a fair and trustworthy experience. Rest assured, that is our customer commitment, and unlike others, we have an Atlantic City land based casino to stand behind our online brand,” said Golden Nugget executive vice president Tom Pohlman.
The news comes after The Borgata Hotel & Casino was awarded the first New Jersey internet gambling permit last week, pending a licence from its online partner bwin.party. The DGE said the casino was the first to file a complete application to offer internet gambling in the state.
