The Borgata in Atlantic City is one of the many casinos located in New Jersey that will participate in the upcoming online gaming launch. Owner MGM Resorts has already partnered with bwin.party to make it happen, apply for a license, and begin the process of preparing for online gaming. In addition, it seems that MGM Resorts CEO Jim Murren has hopes of an eventual compact between New Jersey and Nevada for online gaming expansion. He recently commented that he expects to see it happen in 2014.

 

Murren also said that MGM has been investigating the issue of compacts between the states and with others, as well, relying on a "big team" to prepare for compacts to be entered and finalized in the coming years. As reported by US Poker, the Nevada State Gaming Control Board Chairman — A.G. Burnett — agrees with Murren, saying that "Nevada is striving to do what it can in regards to compacts."
