GVC has been a first-rate partner for us, and we are excited about the possibilities of extending that partnership as regulated markets open up in the U.S.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The new MGM site would be in addition to the five sites that are being currently run under the Borgata\u2019s license. GVC Holdings has been providing software and support to Borgata\u2019s sites since 2013. The playMGM site will be similar to the Borgata in terms of online gaming products, but will have new branding and be integrated with MGM Resorts\u2019 loyalty program <strong>M life Rewards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/legal-new-jersey-poker-sites\">New Jersey is one of the three states with legalized online gaming<\/a> in the country. Since its rollout in 2013, online gaming has seen significant growth in the state and has played a key role in helping to boost the overall casino industry. Atlantic City\u2019s casino industry saw its first annual increase last year driven by the growth in online gaming which rose by over 32 percent to reach $197 million.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chris Grove<\/strong>, an online gambling analyst said online gambling was largely the reason for the dramatic turnaround of Atlantic City\u2019s casinos. Since its launch, internet gambling has resulted in revenue of around $536 million for the five casino operators of Atlantic City and their associates. For the state, online winnings has yielded around $93 million as tax revenue. <\/p>\n<p>The online gaming market hit record highs in March this year going up by over 40 percent over the previous year. Revenue recorded was $21 million beating out the previous best of $18.8 million in January. Data for April is expected to be released shortly.<\/p>\n<p>The Borgata had largely been at the top of the New Jersey online gaming market up until recently. The <strong>Golden Nugget<\/strong> recently overtook it, to move into the first place with a 28.4 percent share in March. The Borgata followed with 20.0 percent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MGM Resorts has announced that it will be launching its first online gaming venture playMGM in the state of New Jersey later this year.
