The New Jersey Assembly this evening voted overwhelmingly in favour of Senator Raymond Lesniak’s bill to allow egaming in the US state.
In a vote taken at 6:44PM Eastern Time, Lesniak’s S490 bill to allow Atlantic City casinos to offer online versions of their games to state residents received 63 votes in favour, 11 against, and three abstentions, comfortably ahead of the 41 votes required for passage.
Having passed both the New Jersey Senate and the Assembly, this evening’s vote leaves New Jersey just one step away from becoming the first US state to get a law legalising and regulating egaming on the statute books.
The bill now passes to Governor Chris Christie, becoming law upon his signature or after 45 days if no action is taken during this time. Christie has however yet to publicly declare his position on Lesniak's bill.
