New Jersey
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will make his decision this week on the future of online casino gambling in New Jersey, and players throughout the state are hoping for a positive result. Online gamblers are anticipating that Christie will finally regulate online casinos.

"It has been so long that we have had to play under a system that does not protect us," said one online slots player from New Jersey who wished to remain anonymous. "At least if this law passes I will be able to play at casinos I can trust."

The players reported no incidents where she had been wronged by her current online casinos, but she also alluded to the idea of having major Atlantic City casinos offering the gambling. The casinos are already under intense scrutiny from New Jersey regulators, and the regulations would be even stricter with online gambling.

Christie is in the process of deciding whether or not he wants to go against his own party on a national level. Republicans have long been in favor of restricting Americans from online gambling. A recent shift, however, has occurred within the party, with many members starting to accept the possibility of regulation of the Internet gaming industry.

New Jersey would become the first state to regulate online gambling if Christie signs the bill. If he chooses to say no to the legislation passed by the Assembly and Senate, then California, Florida, or even Iowa could gain the distinction as a trend setter for Internet gambling in the US.
