Even sports betting giant DraftKings would eventually add Evolution’s games to their app, expanding into casino gambling for the first time in the NJ market. Hard Rock got its Live Dealer games up and running soon after it launched its online casino, and later welcomed 888, Play SugarHouse, Mohegan Sun, and Resorts into the facility as well. Hard Rock teamed up with international Live Dealer industry-leader Evolution Gaming to build its own dedicated studio inside the property. The opening of the Hard Rock AC finally brought some competition for Golden Nugget. Several sites licensed under Borgata ( Borgata Casino, Party Casino NJ, and BetMGM) began operation in 2018. While a separate company, FanDuel utilizes the same dealers and most of the same tables as Golden Nugget.
GN-licensee Betfair, who has since transitioned to FanDuel Casino, followed suit, leasing out space from the facility for its own operation the following year.
Golden Nugget was the Live Dealer pioneer in the state, partnering with software provider Ezugi to open the first dedicated legal Live Dealer studio in 2016. The Live Dealer count in New Jersey has now stretched well beyond double digits. What NJ online casinos offer Live Dealer games?
