NetEnt to go live in New Jersey; signs with Casino Barcelona

Gambling software outfit Net Entertainment (NetEnt) has received a green light from the New Jersey gaming regulator to launch its digital gaming portfolio in the state via bwin.party brands.

In a press release, NetEnt announced that it has received a transactional waiver from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE), granting NetEnt Americas LLC permission to go live with its game content while its license application is under review. Prior to launch, NetEnt will initiate an installation process of its servers and trial of its services, with an official launch date to be announced at a later stage.

NetEnt signed its first US agreement for the provision of its multichannel casino games for bwin.party brands such Borgata Casino, Borgata Poker, and PartyPoker in June.

The transactional waiver is granted individually for each signed deal and therefore does not cover the company’s other agreements in New Jersey. The firm has also recently signed partnerships with Golden Nugget and Caesars Interactive Entertainment and is currently awaiting transactional waivers to start the go live process also for these operators.
