Sportech and NYX will each invest up to $2m with the platform expected to launch by January 2015.

Once live, players will be able to play a full range of online casino games provided by SNG, including roulette, blackjack and slots.

Ian Penrose, chief executive of Sportech, said he was delighted with the deal: " The establishment of online gaming activities in New Jersey represents an important next step in the development of our US business and we are well positioned for future growth across the US as regulation permits.

“We have worked closely with Resorts and NYX for a number of months now and look forward to the planned launch."

Matt Davey, CEO of NYX Gaming, added: “Resorts is one of the few brands with legitimate claim to New Jersey and holds an iconic position in the industry.

“The combination of NYX’s flexible gaming solutions and extensive library of high quality game content will be key contributors to the unique positioning and success of the Resorts i-gaming venture”
