A bill in New Jersey aimed at legalizing online gaming was approved Tuesday by a Senate Committee by a 11-0 margin, with one abstention.
The legislation would authorize Atlantic City casinos to offer the activity to state residents.
The bill moves to a full vote by lawmakers. According to NorthJersey.com, that could happen as late as June.
Online poker in New Jersey doesn’t face an easy road, as it has been difficult historically to please Gov. Chris Christie with a proposal. However, it was reported in January that the idea has the governor’s “guarded support.”
New Jersey, along with California and Delaware, is actively playing catch-up with Nevada. The Silver State is on the verge of licensing companies to run poker sites.
