In your hotel room.

Quote:

A New Jersey casino says it will become the first casino in the United States to let hotel guests gamble from their rooms over the TV set.

Atlantic City's Borgata will offer its E-Casino to hotel guests starting Feb. 18.

It lets guests with player's cards set up electronic accounts and risk up to $2,500 a day. Slots and four kinds of video poker will be the first games offered.

The casino says the technology can be expanded to include gambling over hand-held devices anywhere on casino property, and eventually, full Internet gambling - if New Jersey approves it.

The technology is currently used on large cruise ships. It will be available in all 2,000 of the Borgata's rooms.

There's no secret. Just know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.

I'll be staying in the borgata probably next week. I will report on my experience, although I cannot stand slots and VP.

My wife is in AC right now. She told me about this yesterday.

I replied that there's already casinos in Vegas doing the hand held thing.

I'm right, right?

FYI I think the Vegas thing is only for sports betting but didn't tell her that part.

Ought to be enough rope pretty soon to hang yourself.

As with gambling on the internet, I'm going to have to leave this one alone.

Actually I think a few casinos in Vegas already have the personal terminals set up for table games but everyone is hoping the real money starts rolling in with the sports betting. The eventual legalization of it all will mean internet bets accepted by Vegas casinos or casino-related entities. Perhaps this will make every casino a "locals" casino.

I saw PocketCasino at the M I believe. It's been on the strip for a few years.

I understand the Borgata's system is the same as the one found on cruise ships.

I am not sure how a pin keeps the kids from playing. It's as if they're sitting on a stool next to a player in the casino.

The only thing I would really WANT handheld or remote mobile gambling for is sports betting. Here's hoping both those bills/initiatives get up and running in Jerz soon.

Look at the up side.
It gives the kids that you left in the room something else to do. :-)
