A brand new online casino will be hitting the New Jersey market this week, although it might seem like an odd entry if you know the gambling geography of that area. It seems that this particular casino is a more recognizable brand for New Jersey residents than other casinos located in Atlantic City.

This means that there are now 17 licensed online gambling sites in New Jersey. Most of them offer the usual games like Slots, Roulette, Video Poker, Blackjack, Keno and Baccarat. Among themselves, they only have a couple of online poker rooms. A lot of fans of poker in that state are awaiting the launch of a big poker site which will surely spell trouble for all the other casinos offering poker tables on their websites.

All of this is slowly turning New Jersey in a good place for gamblers everywhere to try their hand at online gambling, given the harsh laws that are active in a lot of other states in the USA. There are mixed reports though relating to when this new online casino will actually open its doors to the public. Some say that the launch date will be the 3rd quarter of 2015, while others are saying that it might be early next year.

One thing is for sure, life is looking good for gamblers all across New Jersey and all surrounding states.
