New Jersey assembly passes online gambling resolution

More a symbolic gesture than anything else, and his second attempt, the New Jersey Assembly has passed Assemblyman Vincent Mazzeo’sresolution urging the Trump Administration to deny any attempts at prohibiting online gambling.

The Assembly delivered an unanimous vote in favor of the resolution 75-0.

“A federal prohibition against Internet gaming would directly and negatively impact New Jersey by dismantling the investments that the State and Atlantic City casinos have already made to implement and regulate Internet gaming, taking away the economic and employment opportunities already realized by the State and its residents, and foreclosing the future potential of Internet gaming to generate tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue, create high-tech software jobs, and foster valuable business ventures for Atlantic City casinos in this State,” the resolution reads.
