New Jersey lawmakers are throwing a lifeline to help the state’s struggling horse racing tracks.
On Thursday, the New Jersey State Assembly approved a bill that would allow tracks to offer Internet gambling on their premises, The Providence Journal reported.
The law requires tracks operators to ink a partnership with an Atlantic City casino or an online affiliate of a casino to be able to offer online betting.
Casino executive-turned Democratic Assemblyman Ralph Caputo said the new legislation aims to boost the racing industry’s revenue.
