New Jersey's fledgling Internet gambling market got a new player yesterday as Atlantic City's Resorts Casino Hotel got the go-ahead to conduct Internet gambling in the state.

The casino received permission from the state Division of Gaming Enforcement to conduct full Internet gambling following the conclusion of a five-day test period in which state inspectors verified the casino's equipment and systems are working properly.

Resorts will now begin several weeks of beta testing, during which customers can win and lose real money on the site, www.ResortsCasino.com . A full launch of the site is planned within a few weeks, Resorts President Mark Giannantonio said.

"During our beta period, we will invite players to sign up and provide feedback on the user experience, while we add additional features before our official launch," he said. "Real-time feedback will be an important aspect of our beta period as we further enhance the gaming content and features to produce the best casino experience in New Jersey."

Resorts becomes the sixth of Atlantic City's eight casinos to offer Internet gambling.

Resorts has been partnered with PokerStars, the world's largest online poker website, since July 2013. But PokerStars has not been approved to operate in New Jersey, following legal trouble someformer executives encountered.

Resorts has approval to partner with Sportech NYX Gaming LLC to offer online gambling. It plans to add PokerStars once the site's new owner, Amaya Gaming, is approved to operate in New Jersey.
