Golden Nugget Casino Online
The largest revenue generator among New Jersey online casinos don’t come much bigger than the Golden Nugget. It’s no surprise, as Golden Nugget offers one of the best casino experiences in NJ. No wonder the casino won the coveted EGaming Review (EGR) North America award for Operator of the Year four years running.
Golden Nugget Online Casino has one of the widest ranges of games in New Jersey. You can choose from over 700+ slots, progressives, and table games from over a dozen providers. You can also make deposits in person at the Golden Nugget AC casino cage.
The live-dealer lobby contains over a dozen games like live blackjack and live baccarat, while live-casino-floor roulette is streamed exclusively from the Golden Nugget in AC.
Betfair Casino New Jersey
New Jersey’s Betfair Casino is a partnership between Betfair plc and the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City.
Betfair first had the Trump Plaza as its partner, but as the Trump organization closed down its casino operation, Betfair turned to the Golden Nugget instead. Since the move, Betfair has become one of the most successful New Jersey online casino sites.
As well as a casino, Betfair operates one of the largest sportsbooks and betting exchanges in the world. Instead of betting against the sportsbook, Betfair allows gamblers to make wagers with other gamblers.
At Betfair, US players can bet legally on all sports and horse races, as well as slots, table games, and live-dealer games.
Tropicana Casino Online
The Tropicana Hotel and Casino’s online casino is called simply the Tropicana Casino and goes under the same IGP as the land-based operation.
This legend within the online gambling industry uses the gaming platform solution from Gamesys, also a huge player in this market. Tropicana’s license is also used by Virgin Casino.
At the moment, Tropicana is only offering casino games, slots, and bingo. There are currently no plans to add sports betting and poker to its online casino site.
Mohegan Sun Online Casino
The Mohegan Sun Online Casino has Resorts AC as their land-based partner and operates under the same license as PokerStars.
Mohegan Sun boasts a huge range of games, including classic slots, video slots, blackjack, video poker, roulette, and live dealer.
A unique feature, only found at Mohegan Sun, is the daily free spin offered to all registered players. The maximum win from the free spin is $3 million and can be claimed once per day. Mohegan Sun also offers one of the largest welcome bonuses for a New Jersey online casino.
Virgin Casino
Virgin Casino was a moderately successful European-facing casino before moving into the regulated NJ market in 2013. It operates under the Tropicana license and has been doing well.
Part of that success is down to its excellent Gamesys platform, which makes it one of the most user-friendly online casinos in the Garden State. You can play slots, casino games, and bingo, all under one roof. Virgin NJ is one of the only sites in New Jersey that offers 90-Ball Bingo.
Promotions are attractive at Virgin Casino NJ and include Happy Hour deals, cash back, and a community jackpot where every player can win a share of $20,000.
Resorts Casino
Resorts Atlantic City Online Casino is connected to Resorts AC and is using the same IGP. The casino platform is provided by NYX Gaming, another leader in the internet gambling world.
At Resorts Casino, you can play slots, live dealer games, and table games, but not poker. However, Resorts has opened an online sportsbook that can also be accessed on mobile devices.
BetRivers Online Casino
BetRivers Online Casino is operated by Sugarhouse HSP Gaming and operates under the Golden Nugget license. BetRivers now runs legal casino sites in both New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and more.
You can access hundreds of slots and games through BetRivers no-download desktop client or via the Android and iOS apps. It’s also possible to make deposits in person at the Golden Nugget casino cage.
As well as claiming a handsome welcome bonus, you can join BetRivers iRush Rewards scheme, one of the best loyalty programs in New Jersey. As an iRush Rewards member, you can turn slots and table game play into points. You can then convert points into cash or perks at Philadelphia’s SugarHouse Casino.
An online sportsbook was added to the BetRivers site in late 2018 after sports betting was legalized earlier in the year.
Caesars Online Casino New Jersey
Caesars Online is the casino website of Caesars Atlantic City, and is one of the bigger New Jersey internet casinos.
The renowned operator uses the platform and software from Amaya, among other developers. Caesars does offer online poker, but only through its WSOP NJ (World Series of Poker New Jersey) brand.
Caesars is one of the most famous US casino brands, both inside and outside of the USA. Because their reputation is vital for their ongoing success, it is an exceptionally secure place to play.
Borgata Online Casino
Borgata Online is the casino site of Borgata Atlantic City. It’s powered by software from bwin.party, and offers NJ online casino gaming and poker. The poker product has a shared player pool with partypoker New Jersey.
Borgata is owned by two land-based giants within the gambling sector, MGM and Boyd. As most states that will legalise online gambling only allow land-based operators to operate on the net, Borgata has substantial opportunities to grow their online presence to more US states in the future.
Borgata offers a new player bonus worth $600. Players also receive $20 in bonus dollars with which to play at the site.
PartyCasino
Like Borgata, partyCasino runs on the bwin.party online gaming platform. The land-based partner of partypoker is Borgata, and you will find many similarities if you try both sites. In reality, they are virtually the same product, albeit with different logos and colors.
partyCasino features over 600 slots and table games, including the latest titles from developers like IGT, WMS, and Bally. The New Jersey online casino also boasts a range of exclusive bwin progressive slots.
To increase the number of players on their online poker tables, partypoker NJ has partnered with Borgata by combining their pools of players.
Harrah’s Online Casino
Since Harrah’s Online Casino is operated in partnership with Caesars, the game selection, features, and feel are very similar to Caesars NJ.
Just like Caesars, the online casino is powered by the robust gambling platform from Amaya. Harrah’s is also part of the Total Rewards program, the nationwide Caesars rewards program.
As a Harrah’s customer, you can claim Caesars Rewards and cash in your points any time you like. You can also make deposits and withdrawals in person at the Harrah’s Casino Resort in Atlantic City.
888 Casino NJ
UK operator 888 operates in the state of New Jersey through its land-based partner, Caesars. 888casino offers slots, table games, and online poker, as well as a fully-stocked live dealer lobby.
The online poker operation is in partnership with WSOP New Jersey, which means you can find plenty of satellites into the annual World Series of Poker.
888 is one of the biggest online casino, poker, and sports betting operators in the world (with revenues of $541.8m in 2017 alone), and as such,
