About New Jersey Gaming

New Jersey Casinos & Gambling

 

Gambling opportunities in New Jersey include casino gambling in Atlantic City, the New Jersey Lottery, bingos & raffles, amusement games with risk and reward seaside and at county fairs, thoroughbred horse racing and standardbred harness racing, off-track betting, and online poker and casino gambling. New Jersey's gambling laws are among the most permissive in the United States. Sportsbetting is not allowed but the case may be headed to the United States Supreme Court.


There are no Tribal casinos in the state and all casinos are currently located within Atlantic City. Online gaming and Atlantic City casino gambling are regulated by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, and race betting is handled by the New Jersey Racing Commission. Bingo,  raffles, and amusement games are administered by the Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission under the direction of the Division of Consumer Affairs.


New Jersy voters legalized gambling in Atlantic City on November 2, 1976, by a vote of 1,535,249 (56.53%) to 1,180,799 (43.47%). The New Jersey Casino Control Act was signed into law the next year and Resorts International Casino was the first to open in 1978.


After several stalled attempts and a veto by Governor Chris Christie, Online gambling was finally approved on February 26, 2013, with overwhelming support. Nearly all of the casinos in Atlantic City offer online gaming in 2018 with more than 20 domain names between them. Online players must be within the state's borders to log on or play.

The casinos of New Jersey

 

When the only commercial casinos in the eastern United States were located in Atlantic City, properties there did quite well and the planned economic benefits to the seashore city were manifold. However with the eventual market saturation of dozens of "racinos" and state supplied lottery casinos nearby in New York and elsewhere, along with the great recession, the casino's fortunes faded. For an in-depth and up-to-date guide, including history, news, statistics and the current state of the industry in the Boardwalk City, please see our Atlantic City Gambling Guide.


At their peak in 2006, Atlantic City casinos were powerful economic engines. But the numbers have gone downhill since then. At the beginning of 2014, there were 12 casinos in operation. Four casinos closed that year, and another in 2016. The Atlantic Club, Trump Plaza, Showboat, and Revel closed in 2014. Carl Icahn closed Trump Taj Mahal in 2016. The Revel may reopen as TEN Atlantic City in early 2017. The surviving casinos are doing well with less competition. Online gambling revenues are also making a slow but steady climb in AC. 

 

Pari-mutuel facilities in New Jersey

 

Live horse racing in New Jersey occurs at three locations - Freehold Raceway (standardbred only) Monmouth Park (thoroughbred only) and Meadowland Racetrack (thoroughbred and standardbred). Atlantic City Racecourse closed in early 2015.


Each of the live racing facilities also has daily simulcast race betting. Borgata is the only casino left to offer simulcast betting and a racebook. Caesars closed theirs in 2015. So expect big crowds fighting for one of the 105 seats in Borgata's simulcast room on big race days like the Kentucky Derby. 


Six off-track betting or Off Track Wagering (OTW) facilities are licensed including Favorites at Tom's River and Winners Bayonne.


As the state struggles to come to terms with their new place in the Eastern gambling landscape, plans are in the works for a Hard Rock Casino to open at Meadowlands, and for a $5 billion casino in Jersey City. The election November 8, 2016, will determine if that's possible when voters say yes or no to Question 1: "Do you approve amending the Constitution to permit casino gambling in two additional counties in this State? At present, casino gambling is allowed only in Atlantic City in Atlantic County. Only one casino in each of the two counties would be permitted. Each casino is to be located in a town that is at least 72 miles from Atlantic City. The amendment would allow certain persons to apply first for a casino license.


'Certain Persons' are existing Atlantic City casino license holders who would have 6 months to present plans before anyone else got a chance to bid.

New Jersey Casinos and Gambling in Summary

 

Although the days of being the number two casino town in the world are over, Atlantic City cannot be counted out and still offers visitors a full range of gambling venues ranging from the new "locals" favorite Resorts Casino Hotel to the Borgata, Golden Nugget, Tropicana, Caesar's, Harrah's or Bally's.



Horse racing is alive and well with some of the best tracks in the country, and online gambling for those playing from within the state's borders offers exciting opportunities. If you are playing from your hotel room at, say, Caesars Atlantic City Hotel & Casino, you can simply walk to the cashier's cage and collect your online winnings. Now that beats asking for an account flush, or waiting out a pending period at most online casinos!

History of Gambling in New Jersey


Gambling in New Jersey – The Early Days

The state of New Jersey has had a colorful past in the context of gambling. There are many important dates for gambling and gaming enthusiasts to remember in New Jersey. In the year 1969, the state approved the first state lottery. The proceeds of the lottery were used to fund education in the state; several schools were built using the money that was raised.

The First Casinos in New Jersey

Then, in 1976, New Jersey became the second state in the US to legalize gambling. The state allowed gambling casinos to operate in order to raise money for the disabled and the elderly. 1978 was a landmark year for the state of New Jersey. That was the year when the first casino opened in New Jersey at Atlantic City. The distinction of being the first casino in New Jersey goes to the Resorts International Casino. The casino is still open today. Over the next few years, over 16 new casinos opened in the state, but most of them were primarily concentrated in Atlantic City.

The way the casinos first came into existence in New Jersey makes for interesting reading. Sometime in the late 1960s, resorts in New Jersey were facing a peculiar problem: many of them were unable to attract visitors. A number of them shut down, and some others were converted to housing projects. There were a few that survived the problem, such as the Ambassador, the Madison, and the Dennis. Once gambling was legalized in the state, some of these re-invented themselves as casinos.

For instance, the first casino in the state, Resorts International, was originally the Chalfonte-Haddon Hotel. This hotel was converted and Resorts International came into existence. Another such instance of a casino being built from a hotel/resort is the Tropicana Hotel and Casino, which was built on the steel framework of the Ambassador.

Casinos in New Jersey – The Glory Days

The state of New Jersey has mostly played second fiddle to the state of Nevada, as Nevada had legalized gambling earlier than New Jersey. However, there was a period, during the 1970s and 1980s, when it was definitely ahead of Nevada. This was because of a high crime rate in Nevada and also the alleged involvement of organized crime in the gaming world.

The fact that Mike Tyson fought most of his fights in the state helped increase the popularity of the state as a tourist destination further, something which was a major factor in the popularity of the casinos.

However, despite all such efforts, the state of New Jersey has had a tough time positioning itself as a casino destination. The going has got tougher now that a number of other states in the country, including many on the East Coast, have also legalized gambling. The state has not given up the fight yet, however. Plans are underfoot to build a number of new casinos.

Gambling in New Jersey – The Future

The future of gambling in New Jersey is, by no means, bleak. There are plans to build a number of casinos here to provide increased incentive for tourists to come here. For instance, the MGM Mirage Board has approved plans to build the MGM Grand Atlantic City on 60 acres of land next to the Borgata casino.

The project, called the City Center East, will have 3,000 rooms and 500,000 sq ft in casino space. This would make it the largest casino pace in the state – 5000 slot machines, over 200 table games and a poker room that is on par with the rest of the specifications.

Gambling Controversies in New Jersey

There have been some gambling-related controversies in the state of New Jersey as well. In late 2007, the gambling commission of New Jersey State was in the news for refusing to renew the Tropicana Resort Casino’s license, only the second time such an incident had occurred.

Earlier in 2007, there was yet another controversial ruling and a statute that limits smoking to 25% of the total casino space in any casino. Several casino insiders, including Trump Entertainment’s Donald Trump, have criticized the ruling, stating that this gives the casinos in neighboring states an unfair advantage over New Jersey.

There is also a catch to the legalization of gambling in the state of New Jersey – it applies only to traditional land-based casinos. It does not apply to the newer form of gambling that has materialized with the arrival of the Internet – online gambling. Online gambling is still non-regulated and illegal in the state. In fact, gambling online is illegal not just in New Jersey, but also in almost all the states in the US.



Legal Aspects of New Jersey Gambling – An Overview

Statistics show that gambling in casinos is the preferred type of gambling in the US, and New Jersey is no exception. Be that as it may, many states in the US, including New Jersey, have laws that prevent any kind of gambling unless it has been authorized by the Legislature.

To quote the law, “no gambling of any kind shall be authorized by the Legislature unless the specific kind, restrictions and control thereof have been heretofore submitted to, and authorized by a majority of the votes cast by, the people at a special election or shall hereafter be submitted to, and authorized by a majority of the votes cast thereon by, the legally qualified voters of the State voting at a general election...”.

The above is an excerpt of the Constitution of the state of New Jersey, Article 4, Section 7, Paragraph 2, which talks about gambling. So what are the games that fulfill the conditions that have been stipulated by the Legislature? The full list of games that are legal in New Jersey can be found at the Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission Home Page. To give you a rough idea, the commission oversees the operation of more than 1000 games which are operated by more than 12,000 organizations in the state.

The games include bingo, keno, and many other casino games – poker and its many variations and other card games are also part of them. The organizations operating these games include charitable organizations, educational, religious, and patriotic as well as public spirited organizations, including senior citizens clubs and associations.

Some Gambling Rules in New Jersey
The rules and regulations in New Jersey that govern the games of chance and amusement are several, including not advertising the games in any form. If you are organizing these games in non-commercial premises (a good example of which is a home poker game), you are not legally permitted to sell liquor to the players. In the case of games being held in commercial premises, you are not allowed to sell liquor when a game is in progress. Players can, however, bring their own liquor.

Organizations operating gambling games can use the proceeds for capital improvement as long as these organizations are religious, charitable, patriotic, educational, civic, or service oriented. However, all organizations operating these games must apply for and obtain a gaming license, which they must display on the premises.

Persons who are under the legal age of 18 are not allowed to participate in the games. No gaming activities are allowed Sundays; games are not allowed for more than six days in a month. Admission fees for the games should be in accordance with the norms prescribed by the regulations for the game, and there are limitations to the amount of the prize money that is being awarded as well.

The organization hosting the games should maintain a record of all expenses and receipts pertaining to the games and provide them to the control commission on a regular basis. The books and records of the organization should be available to the control commission – in other words the organization must make full disclosure of information at all times.

The laws pertaining to gambling in New Jersey state that the license to host games can and will be revoked if any violations of the norms are detected. The primary objective of the control commission is to make sure that the general public does not get deceived or deprived in any manner while participating in these games or amusements.

A percentage of the gross sales from each state shall be aggregated in a common prize pool, and operating costs shall be charged proportionally to the party states. The remaining revenues generated within each state shall remain in that particular state.
