Gopal\u2019s bill would amend the state constitution to let lawmakers approve and regulate casino games in other areas. The legislation does not define which types of games would be allowed, leaving that up to future regulations.<\/p>\n<h2>Tax Revenue Plan Already Outlined<\/h2>\n<p>The bill includes a plan for how tax revenue would be distributed if new casinos open.

In Q1 2025, the city\u2019s casino industry posted a 15% year-over-year profit decline. Many blame rising competition from online gambling and nearby states expanding casino operations.<\/p>\n<p>To stay competitive, Atlantic City operators spent roughly $200 million last year on improvements outside gaming\u2014adding new restaurants, hotel upgrades, and live entertainment, based on a 2024 industry report.<\/p>\n<p>New casinos at Monmouth Park or Meadowlands would likely need similar investments in non-gaming offerings to attract visitors and remain competitive, analysts say.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"BetUS\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BetUS.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"BetUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">BetUS<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.

New York is preparing to award three casino licenses for the downstate region, with potential locations in areas like Times Square, Yonkers, the Bronx, and Brooklyn. Those projects could pull gambling dollars away from New Jersey, especially from racetracks that rely heavily on regional traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Some lawmakers argue that expanding casino access within New Jersey is the best way to stay competitive.
