By Phil - 20 April 2015

Resorts Casino Hotel, the first casino to open in the state of New Jersey, has unveiled another first for the New Jersey market, as it has opened the Resorts iGaming Lounge on its casino floor.

Having launched its new real money online casino, featuring a large selection of casino slots and table games in New Jersey, as well as exclusive titles introduced in the United States for the first time, it has now opened a first-of-its-kind in the world digital iGaming room that is solely dedicated to online gaming and will serve as the prime location on the casino floor to indulge in online gaming fun.

“The launch of www.ResortsCasino.com and debut of the new digital Resorts iGaming Lounge offers all of our casino customers the best gaming experience possible,” said Morris Bailey, owner of Resorts Casino Hotel, a Mohegan Sun property. “We will offer our players the opportunity to play all their favourite casino slots and table games at their leisure anywhere in New Jersey, while also providing customers the chance to experience online gaming during their visit to Resorts in Atlantic City. These new amenities are the latest examples of Resorts’ long-term property reinvestment plans, highlighting our casino’s ongoing growth trajectory for success.”

Hosted on an innovative iGaming platform compatible with mobile devices and desktops, www.ResortsCasino.com is the latest example of the casino’s commitment to enhancing the Resorts brand and player offerings. To offer customers the best user experience possible, Resorts partnered with iGaming leader, SNG Interactive, which includes publicly traded companies Sportech PLC and NYX Gaming Group, the largest online content provider in the United States.

The casino continues to differentiate itself from competitors by offering a user-friendly registration process, secure payment options, and online banking which allows guests to safely deposit funds into their online accounts. Once accounts are set up, players can choose from an expansive selection of casino slots and table games as well as highly coveted content that are unavailable anywhere else, whether customers are on the property, at home or on the move anywhere in New Jersey.

“Following a fruitful Q1 in 2015, we’re thrilled to launch our online casino today to offer customers a new way to enjoy the Resorts brand experience from the comforts of their homes or on the go,” said Mark Giannantonio, president and CEO of Resorts Casino Hotel. “By waiting to launch our online casino, we understand what our customers are looking for, and can better meet their needs by offering the kind of content they want on a best-in-class platform. As we grow our iGaming business, Resorts will continue to launch new content and offerings for our players.”

Kicking off the online casino launch with giveaways and promotions, Resorts will be offering exciting incentives to registered account members, including complimentary cash slot vouchers to play for real money online;www.ResortsCasino.com t-shirt giveaways; three digital scratch cards everyday upon logging in with grand prize winnings up to $2,000,000; and a 100 per cent deposit match up to $600 so players will automatically double their money with their first online deposit.

Following its initial beta phase, the new real money online casino offers the best online user experience, by featuring a large selection of casino slots and table games, as well as exclusive titles introduced in the United States for the first time.

This announcement follows news earlier this year that a transactional waiver for iGaming operations had been granted in the state of New Jersey. This certification confirms that SNG is compliant with the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement. As a result, SNG is provisionally permitted to offer real money gaming online to customers, accessing the online system physically from within the state.

Rich Roberts, President of Digital US for Sportech said: “We are delighted to be officially launching www.resortscasino.com to the people of New Jersey. This marks a significant step for SNG and for online gaming in the State.”
