Trump Entertainment’s two Atlantic City properties have been issued online gambling permits, with more permits for other Atlantic City properties likely on the way.
Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort and Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino both obtained permits as of Thursday, according to a list on the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement’s website. They are the third and fourth casinos in New Jersey permitted for online gambling operations.
“We are very pleased to acknowledge that Trump Plaza and Trump Taj Mahal have received the third and fourth Internet gaming permits in the state of New Jersey. This is very positive for the company and the Atlantic City market,” Trump Entertainment Resorts CEO Robert Griffin said in a written statement.
Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa received a permit earlier this month, and Golden Nugget Atlantic City received a permit Wednesday.
None can begin offering online gambling until the statewide launch on Nov. 26. The launch will be preceded by a five-day trial period.
Trump Taj Mahal will use Ultimate Gaming as its Web partner. Trump Plaza will team up with Web company Betfair, Wall Street analysts have reported.
When Internet gambling goes live next month, it will mark the most significant expansion of gambling in Atlantic City since casinos were legalized in 1978. Nevada and Delaware are the only other states currently offering online gambling.
