(US).- Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, the Atlantic City resort owned by Boyd Gaming and MGM Resorts International, won permission to offer online gaming in New Jersey, becoming the first casino to gain approval there.

The permit was granted by New Jersey’s Division of Gaming Enforcement, the hotel said in a website statement. MGM and Boyd are working with Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment, based in Gibraltar, to offer online gaming in the U.S.

“Borgata and bwin.party are aggressively pursuing our objective of being among the first to launch online gaming in the state,” Tom Ballance, Borgata’s president and chief operating officer, said in the statement.

New Jersey legalized online gambling in February. Dave Rebuck, director of the state gaming enforcement division, has said he expects operators to begin offering service by November 26.

Online gambling is expected to be a us$ 7.4 billion business in the US by 2017, according to the research firm H2 Gambling Capital. Nevada and Delaware are the other two states that allow online betting.

Station Casinos’s Ultimate Gaming and Caesars Entertainment offer online poker in Nevada. Delaware’s three horse tracks are expected to begin offering online betting this month.
