WPT Mag – Following an intensive period of soft play (play money) testing, the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement have finally provided receipt of approval for Bwin Party digital entertainment to launch real money online poker and casino games in the state.
As of yesterday, anyone within the state of New Jersey above the age of 21 that owns a computer can log onto www.nj.partypoker.com and experience the 24 hour cash games, great range of guaranteed prize pool tournaments and Party’s very own fast folding poker format “FastForward”.
Despite the high risk that not many will be taking part so soon after its release, this Sunday, Party Poker will be hosting an exclusive tournament for New Jersey residents that promises great value with its massive $50,000 guarantee, as a part of their already exciting Sunday majors schedule!
Online satellites will also be available to those of age in New Jersey to qualify for upcoming WPT tournaments, where buy-ins to the huge live events, travel expenses and hotel rooms are all included in the massive prize packages.
In addition, players can now access real money casino games, with Party guaranteeing a constant $1m seeded jackpot for Atlantic City favourites such as Blackjack, Roulette, Batman, Bejewelled, Monopoly, Da Vinci Diamonds, Cleopatra and many more.
Poker Hall of Famer, WPT commentator and Founding Father of Team Party Poker Mike Sexton stated: “We’ve been waiting a long time for this day and during that time have done all we can to create the best online gaming experience in the world. We’re excited to be here and looking forward to bringing fun and excitement to New Jersey for a long time.”
