There was a point in time during which the regulation of online gambling seemed like a distinct possibility in New Jersey. However, things seem to be going downhill for the state, as support for the legalization of online gambling in the state seems to be waning.

According to a poll by Fairleigh Dickinson University, the majority of New Jersey residents are opposed to the idea of online gambling. 58% of residents oppose it while just 31% support it. The remaining 11% have yet to decide.

Even Governor Christie is having second thoughts about the proposed legislation. While he once seemed on board with the idea of online gambling in New Jersey, reports claim that he is second-guessing himself.

According a report in the Philadelphia Inquirer Christie has political goals that extend to a national level, and supporting online gambling may jeopardize these plans. Other politicians believe that Christie is backing out so as not to disappoint his conservative supporters.

Whatever the case, the road to legalized online gambling in New Jersey has experienced a delay. Now, it seems that Illinois will be the first state to legalize and regulate the market.

In March, PokerStars launched its popular Zoom poker application. Available on the downloadable version of PokerStars’ online poker suite, the game allows players to take-part in fast-paced poker games by moving tables each time they fold a hand. Now, the application is available for smartphones and mobile devices, opening zoom up to a whole new poker-playing audience.

Like PokerStars’ base mobile application, Zoom Poker is free to download and offers players the same capabilities as the online app. Players can take part in up to four Zoom Poker sessions at a time, and have access to a wide range of options. Texas Hold ‘Em and Omaha are available with stakes ranging from 1c/2c to $2/$5. So, regardless of your tastes and your budget, there is something for everyone on the new Zoom Poker mobile app.

Playing Zoom Poker is beneficial for a wide range of online poker players, from beginners to grinders. It allows you to get more hands in, increasing your profits and experience level. Zoom Poker mobile is highly recommended; so, if you have an Apple or Android device, download it today.

According to John Cullerton, Illinois State Senate President, the state should hurry up when it comes to implementing online gambling laws. Claiming the Illinois could make millions of dollars by regulating online casino activities, he believes it is about time that the state pursue the venture, much like New Jersey and California have.

Cullerton wants to create the online gambling offering as a part of the state lottery. Since Illinois has already become the first state to launch online lottery sales, this seems like an ideal next step. If the legislation is successful, Illinois will also be the first state to launch legalized online gambling.

The Senate President wants to see the state to pursue online gambling legislation before the summer. However, other politicians from the state believe that caution should be exercised. Since online gambling is a huge undertaking, it would present a significant expansion to the state lottery. As such, politicians have not opposed the idea; rather, they would like to take their time with legislating online gambling in Illinois.

When it comes to online gambling, Microgaming-powered casinos are always ahead of the game. They not only present players with the best games, but also offer innovative platforms on which players can take part in gambling activities. As such, Microgaming is well-known for its mobile casino platform, and 32 Red is the next operator to launch casino games on the go.

This month, 32 Red will become the first-ever online casino to launch a real-money mobile Blackjack application. While the company has already released Tomb Raider mobile slots, 32 Red sees blackjack as the bigger achievement – as there are no other mobile casinos out there that offer the game.

“We’re proud to have launched the first ever real-money Blackjack App to be approved by Apple,” says 32 Red.

32 Red’s real-money Blackjack application was developed by Spin3, Microgaming’s mobile division. As such, you can be confident that the game offers only the highest-quality online gaming experience to players.

The application is free to download – and players get an added bonus! After depositing $10 on the mobile platform, players will receive an additional $50 free!

In New Jersey, legalized online gambling is getting closer to becoming a reality. This week, the legislation to legalize online gambling has been sent to a full assembly for a vote. The vote will take place before the legislature takes a recess in July but the issue will be dealt with when it resumes in September.

This is huge step forward for online gambling in the United States. It shows that regulating online gambling is necessary for the survival of land-based casinos across the country. Especially in the case of New Jersey’s legislation, in which locally-based Atlantic City casinos will operate the online gambling market in the state.

“This is another key piece of our effort to boost New Jersey’s gaming industry by expanding and modernizing our wagering options,” said Assemblyman John Burzichelli, one of the sponsors of the bill.

However, there is still a great deal of opposition. Govenor Christie, who previously vetoed the bill, still has concerns about legalizing online gambling in New Jersey – but the support for the bill seems to overshadow him.

When it comes to legalizing and regulating online gambling, California is one of the most dedicated states. Over the course of the past few months, politicians from California have been working hard to prepare for online gambling legislation. Now, local tribes are getting in on the action.

Bwin.Party has recently signed an agreement with the United Auburn Indian Community (UAIC), which would see the two parties working together to offer online poker to California residents if online gambling is legalized. While the tribe would be able to apple for an online gaming license, Bwin.Party would supply the software for such a venture, making this an ideal partnership.

However, Bwin.Party is not the only international company to take this route. Companies like PlayTech and William Hill have also partnered with American-based operators, allowing them to enter the American market without violating any laws.

California has one of the largest populations of online gamblers in the United States, many of which take part in online poker games. So, it makes perfect sense for Bwin.Party to be interested in this particular online poker market, as it has the potential to be one of the most profitable states for online gambling.

Las Vegas has had a hard time recently, as the global recession affected gaming profits in the area. While other states had started to see some recovery in 2011, Las Vegas has struggled.

Just when things were beginning to look up, Las Vegas’ gambling profits are once again on the decline. A recent report shows that Sin City’s winnings dropped by over 14% during the month of March, putting an end to the five month profit streak.

This is actually the largest decline in winnings that the Las Vegas strip has seen since April 2009, when casinos in the area experienced a 15% loss. At this point, the global recession had started to take hold. While it seems that Las Vegas casinos had finally made it out of the woods in 2012, the residual impact of the economic downturn continues to hold on.

As summer approaches, it is likely that Las Vegas casinos will experience a boost in winnings. More tourists will result in more gambling activity, so it is hoped that winnings will increase yet again – and stay on the incline for the rest of the year.

Mobile gaming is all the rage nowadays, and it is important for gaming operators to keep up with the trend. As such, a wide range of operators have launched mobile casino games and suites – and the latest is the United States Card Playing Company (USCPC).

In conjunction with social media firm Digi117, the operator will be launching a new mobile casino app called Casino by Zeniz on May 10. It will feature a wide range of casino games, initially consisting of poker and slots. Next month, Casino by Zeniz will also offer blackjack.

The app is available for free, but players can purchase extras (such as additional chips) if they so choose. In that way, it is a lot like Zynga Poker and other popular Facebook casino games.

However, Casino by Zeniz is a trendsetter in its own right, becoming one of the first multi-functional mobile casino applications. Rather than simply offering one type of game, there are several available, and the casino will launch even more titles every month!

The operator plans on marketing the application by branding all of USCPC’s decks with the Casino by Zeniz. So, the next time you’re at a casino, be on the lookout – you’ll get a friendly reminder to download this new and innovative app.

PlayTech has announced the release of a new online slots game called ‘The Jazz Club’. As you would expect based on the title, the game is set in an underground jazz club, and all of the game’s elements help to immerse the player into the environment.

One of the best things about The Jazz Club is its soundtrack. It makes the player feel as though they are actually in a jazz club. The composition of the background music is impressive and could stand alone as a great jazz song on its own.

The game’s reels feature things that you would typically find in any jazz club, including musicians and drinks. The musician symbols are the highest-paying symbols, as the trumpet player offers a jackpot of $5000. The microphone is the wild symbol and The Jazz Club logo is the scatter symbol.

The Jazz Solo bonus offers players a number of free spins, based on the musician they choose. The trumpet player offers 10 free spins while the bass player offers 14 free spins with a 2x multiplier and the piano player offers 7 free spins with a 4x multiplier.

The Jazz Club is available at a PlayTech-powered online casino near you. We highly recommend this game.
