Atlantic City Open Forum
Quote: 7star4nowHere's a question, we get why NJ can't take bets from the other 50 states, but why not take bets from the rest of the world?
"In addition to people from more than half the states in America illegally trying to log on to New Jersey Internet gambling websites, technology has detected users in Portugal, Ghana, India and Canada trying to do likewise."

This is a problem, a NJ politician thinks the same way I do.
Considering the fate of many NJ politicians, should I be concerned?
TRENTON – State Sen. Raymond Lesniak introduced a legislative plan on Thursday that would put Atlantic City at the center of an international gaming industry that is expected to experience rapid growth in the years ahead. The plan would help attract international gaming companies to Atlantic City, producing jobs, state revenue and economic expansion, Lesniak (D-Union) said.
Lesniak’s bill, S-3084, would authorize the Division of Gaming Enforcement to provide licenses to companies that offer Internet gaming to other countries where it is legal, allowing overseas customers, including casinos, to place wagers on casino games via the Internet. The service would be restricted to foreign countries and regulatory agreements would have to be implemented between New Jersey and the foreign jurisdiction

"ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- The bidding for The Atlantic Club Casino Hotel in a bankruptcy auction next week will begin at $25 million.
That's $10 million more than the only deal the casino has been able to put together to sell itself when a sale to the PokerStars website fell through earlier this year. But, that deal would have seen PokerStars assume significant liabilities the casino has amassed, something that might not happen in the sale scheduled for Dec. 17
...The Atlantic Club's owners, Los Angeles hedge fund Colony Capital, paid $513 million for it in 2005."

The going rate for a Room in Ballys or Showboat for New Year's Eve 2013...
$250!!
For the past 10 years, the "Main Strip" casinos have been sold out months in advance for NYE.
However, this year it seems the demand has gone down so much, I can get a room for less than $300 after taxes & fees.
I am a Gold card member, who has been to AC about a dozen times this year. Maybe losing $200 total to CET properties.
I have a place in Seaside Heights, so I've never needed to book a room on NYE. But I may consider it this year and will keep an eye on the online rates to see if it drops even further.
But this is still pretty shocking that the rates are not only not Sold Out, but are quite reasonable for arguably the busiest night of the year in AC.

When will the AC "Casino Control Commission", aka "Gaming Enforcement" agency, be formally renamed as "NJ FTroop"?
