Caesars Interactive Entertainment is applying for a casino licence in New Jersey.

Harrah's Resort

Caesars Interactive’s majority owner, Caesars Entertainment, already runs four Atlantic City properties, namely Harrah’s Resort (pictured), Showboat Casino Hotel, Bally’s Atlantic City and Caesars Atlantic City. The casino licence petition, submitted in early April, would enable Caesars Interactive to offer internet gambling on behalf of the four casinos.

Online gambling was legalised in New Jersey in February 2013 and while regulations are yet to be published, operators are hopeful of launching online before the end of the year.
