With a little luck, they might even be joined by a very powerful partner in the weeks or months to come.<\/p>\n<p>Resorts will end their five-day testing period on Wednesday, the second of two full days of operation that follow three partial days of gaming.<\/p>\n<p>That means the casino\u2019s online gambling sites will be entirely operational on Thursday, just a week Resorts received their transactional waiver from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE).<\/p>\n<h2><b>Resorts Boasts Wide Range of Casino Games, No Poker at Launch<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cAs New Jersey\u2019s first casino destination, Resorts is committed to delivering the best-in-class online gaming experience in the Garden State by partnering with gaming leaders, including SNG Interactive, which houses Sportech and NYX Gaming Group,\u201d said Mark Giannantonio, CEO and president of Resorts Casino Hotel.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\"><p>\u201cWith SNG\u2019s flexible gaming solutions and exclusive game content, we\u2019re excited to introduce Europe\u2019s industry-leading casino slots and table games to the United States market for the best online user experience.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Resorts joins the <a title=\"Borgata\" href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/poker-pro-christian-lusardi-charged-in-borgata-fake-chip-scandal\" target=\"_blank\">Borgata<\/a>, Golden Nugget, Tropicana and Caesars Entertainment in offering online casinos in New Jersey. Right now, only the Borgata (partnered with partypoker) and Caesars (with 888 Holdings) offer online poker.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not something that Resorts can boast right out of the gate. However, they\u2019re likely to enter the Internet poker landscape sooner rather than later. Resorts has an existing partnership agreement with the Rational Group, the parent company of PokerStars and Full Tilt that is now owned by <a title=\"amaya\" href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/amaya-raided-financial-canada\" target=\"_blank\">Amaya Gaming<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While Amaya\u2019s licensing application has been delayed, there have been signs that the company could gain a New Jersey license soon, which would likely make Resorts a formidable competitor in the online poker sphere.<\/p>\n<h2><b>PokerStars, Full Tilt Could Provide Games if Licensed<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cResorts has built an exclusive relationship with PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker, two of the most popular and powerful online gaming brands in the world,\u201d reads an FAQ page for Resorts. \u201cThis means Resorts will be providing New Jersey with the best online casino and poker sites with the industry\u2019s most competitive products.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For now, though, the focus will be on providing casino products. According to Resorts, their site will \u201cfeature the largest selection of casino slots and table games in the state of New Jersey as well as exclusive titles and highly coveted content that are unavailable anywhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Resorts Casino Hotel was the first casino built in Atlantic City, opening in 1978. Resorts had been a heavy contributor to the campaign to legalize gambling in New Jersey, supporting the referendum on the issue that was passed by state voters in 1976.<\/p>\n<p>Resorts will be entering an online gambling market in New Jersey that has been growing in recent months. In January, the state\u2019s online gambling sites brought in $11.6 million, up over 22 percent when compared to the same month last year.<\/p>\n<p>The only part of the state\u2019s Internet gambling framework that appears to be struggling is online poker, which could receive a major boost if PokerStars is allowed to begin operations in partnership with Resorts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Resorts Casino Hotel may rank last among the remaining Atlantic City casinos in terms of revenue, but that\u2019s not stopping them from jumping right into the online gambling world.
