Mohegan Sun launches online

ator Mohegan Sun has launched an online offering in New Jersey.

MoheganSunCasino.com is the second site to use Resorts Casino Hotel’s’ i-gaming permit, following the official launch of Resorts’ self-branded online casino in April.

Mohegan Gaming Advisors, a subsidiary of Mohegan Sun operator the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority (MTGA), assumed management of Resorts in 2012.

MTGA president Bobby Soper said: “The MTGA is thrilled to launch what we believe has raised the bar in online gaming and stays true to our commitment to luxury, leisure and best-in-class practices.

“Our goal is for MoheganSunCasino.com to become the premier online destination for both serious gamers and those who simply want to relax and have fun.”

Resorts is also partnered with operator PokerStars, and David Baazov, CEO of PokerStars’ owner Amaya Gaming, announced in March that PokerStars expects to launch in New Jersey in the third quarter of this year.

The Pala Band of Mission Indians became the first tribe to enter the New Jersey regulated online gambling market in November with the launch of PalaCasino.com, as its online offshoot Pala Interactive LLC partnered with Borgata Casino Hotel and Spa.

New Jersey’s online gambling operators collectively posted gaming win of $71.97m for the first six months of 2015, up 14% year-on-year.
