Governor Christie vetoed the Internet Gaming Bill that would have
made New Jersey the 3rd state with on line wagering. He did so
with conditional suggestions. Christie stated he would sign the bill
if it included an increase in the tax on gaming revenue from 10 to
15%. The new bill must have more money for compulsive gaming
and have a 10 year term that on line wagering could exist.
Lawmakers have already stated that they will support these changes
and reintroduce a new bill reflecting the amendments. This new
bill could be on Christie's desk by the end of March. If signed by
April, on line gaming could be part of New Jersey by the end of the
year. I 'll provide further information and commentary from Las Vegas
at the IGNA next week. Follow me for more if you're betting on AC.
