Amaya Inc. on Monday formally launched PokerStars online poker and casino after receiving technical approval from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement to operate the world’s most popular poker site in New Jersey.
The move, while expected, is still getting ample media coverage today.
“We could not be more proud to bring PokerStars to New Jersey,” said David Baazov, CEO of Amaya, in a news release. “Working with our partner, Resorts Casino Hotel, we look forward to providing the most exciting, innovative and secure gaming experience to New Jersey.”
PokerStars’ much-anticipated launch in New Jersey is hailed as being a “significant milestone” for the company and the industry.
So what’s on tap for Garden State gamers?
PokerStars New Jersey players will be able to take part in the brand’s most popular games, formats and products, including the popular Spin & Go variant, which crowned 13 millionaires globally between October and December 2015.
“This is a great day for online gaming, for state players and residents and for Atlantic City,” said Morris Bailey, owner of Resorts Casino Hotel. “Resorts has worked diligently to build a home for globally renowned brands in New Jersey and, with the addition of PokerStars, is proud to introduce yet another respected partner.”
