Since
online gambling in New Jersey
was legalized back in 2013, all the big names in the casino industry have been battling for their place as the biggest online casino in the state.These casinos are constantly adding new promotions and incentives in an effort to acquire you, the player, as a long-term customer.
Many ways to measure, but the largest NJ online casino by revenue is …
The Department of Gaming Enforcement New Jersey issues gross revenue reports on a monthly basis, and what better way to determine the biggest casino than to see which casinos are earning the most money? The crown for September 2016 goes to the Golden Nugget Casino, which overtook the Borgata for the first time in New Jersey online gambling history.
This is even more impressive than it initially appears, because Golden Nugget operates casino games alone, whereas the Borgata’s gross revenue contains live poker in addition to casino profit.
So what has made the Golden Nugget so successful in recent months?
Our best guess is the popularity of the Golden Nugget’s Live Dealer games. GoldenNuggetCasino.com offers something that the other online casinos in New Jersey do not.
Instead of having a random number generator determine the outcome of your games, the Golden Nugget decided to combine the convenience of gambling online with the social interactivity of live casinos.
Variety of games helps to drive leader in NJ online casino market
Live blackjack, live roulette, and live baccarat are broadcast in real time from a dedicated room located inside the Golden Nugget’s casino in Atlantic City. They are available seven nights a week from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Live Dealer Blackjack differs from other online blackjack in that the game is dealt by a real person from a traditional shoe. Otherwise, the rules are pretty much the same. The betting limits on the Golden Nugget’s Live Dealer Blackjack are much closer to live casinos found in Atlantic City than they are to other online blackjack games. Players can wager a minimum of $10, all the way up to a maximum of $1000.
Unfortunately, the house edge is quite high as compared to other online blackjack games and the casino uses an eight-deck shoe with 50 percent penetration to discourage card counters. Even with its faults however, GoldenNuggetCasino.com’s Live Dealer Blackjack is the closest you’ll get to a real live casino experience from the comfort of your own home.
So have Live Dealer games made the Golden Nugget’s online casino the biggest? It’s difficult to say. One thing is for sure though: Live Dealer Games worth trying out. The Golden Nugget also offers a great welcoming package, including a $1000 match play with promo code “GOLD1000” and a free $15 No Deposit Bonus to try out.
The largest online poker room is a different story
When it comes to online poker, the biggest poker rooms in the state are by far PokerStarsNJ.com and WSOP.com. Combined, these two sites have more than 75 percent of the online New Jersey player pool. If you want to play poker online, PokerStarsNJ.com and WSOP.com are your best bets for finding games.
PokerStarsNJ.com also has a great welcoming package. If you sign up for a new account on the site and deposit $20 using bonus code “FREE30,” you will receive $30 to help you get started. You can also take advantage of its $600 match bonus when you sign up as a new player with bonus code “STARS600”.
WSOP.com has a slightly smaller match bonus than Poker Stars, but it will give you seven $100 freeroll tickets exclusive to new players, in addition to its $400 match player. This is great way to start building your online poker bankroll.
So while the answer to which New Jersey online casino is the biggest may be subjective, we can definitely point you in the right direction. Good luck at the tables!
