History is being made in New Jersey at this hour, as the state begins to officially roll out online gambling for a five-day trial period before the entire Garden State population has access to online real-money gambling.
On June 26, 1979, a statement released Thursday from Caesars reads, Caesars Atlantic City first opened its doors. Now 34 years later, a new era of gaming in New Jersey begins, as three online real-money gaming offerings under the Caesars umbrella begin entertaining New Jersey residents and visitors.
Starting at 6 pm tonight, consumers 21 or older inside New Jersey’s borders and who have been vetted through the responsible gaming screening can log onto CaesarsCasino.com, HarrahsCasino.com or WSOP.com to play poker, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, video slots and video poker as part of the soft launch.
Caesars Interactive Entertainment, Inc., the online arm of Caesars Acquisition Company, is offering three distinct brands right out of the gate.
Both the Caesars and the Harrah’s names will become the longest-running casino brands in New Jersey to offer online gaming, and the World Series of Poker is the longest-running poker brand in existence, with roots dating back to 1970. WSOP.com launched real-money online poker in Nevada two months ago.
“We are excited to be launching three of the most iconic U.S. gaming brands online for those inside New Jersey borders,” says CIE Senior Vice President Geoffrey Stewart. “With industry-leading technology and the loyalty benefits of our Total Rewards and Action Club programs, we know consumers will quickly see why CaesarsCasino.com, HarrahsCasino.com, and WSOP.com are some of the best places to play online casino games for real money in the Garden State. The fun and action found online will reflect what our players have come to expect from our land-based properties for decades.”
