Wynn To Run Online Poker From Caesars PropertyTo Solve No-Casino Issue, Wynn Will Host Servers There |
|
One may think of the giant casino firms in the United States as competitors, and that’s true on some level, but in reality they are all in the gambling expansion fight together. This week, it was announced that Wynn Resorts and Caesars Entertainment will work together in New Jersey for online gambling.
According to Bloomberg, Wynn plans to host its online gambling servers on an undisclosed property of Caesars, which owns a number of casino-hotels in Atlantic City. Wynn doesn’t have any at the present time.
New Jersey rules state that an operator of Internet gambling must have a brick-and-mortar presence in the state. In other words, an online gambling site in Malta couldn’t offer games to those within New Jersey. The hardware for the Internet gambling must be physically within Atlantic City. It’s unclear if Wynn will pursue a casino there in the future.
“On one side of the room ABC company can have its server, next to it can be a server from another company,” David Rebuck, director of New Jersey’s Division of Gaming Enforcement, told Bloomberg about how such arrangements can be made.
888 Holdings, which has the software for Internet betting, will provide the back-end technology.
Caesars has already launched a WSOP-branded online poker site in Nevada. It was just announced this week that Wynn would be partnering with 888 in Nevada.
Despite the likely agreement between Wynn and Caesars, both are competing for the sole casino license to build soon in the Boston area. Massachusetts, like others in the region, has beefed up gambling recently in order to generate more economic activity.
