Leading the New Jersey gaming industry since 1978 as the first casino-hotel outside Nevada, Resorts Casino Hotel partnered with DraftKings to launch the first-ever online sports betting platform in New Jersey. DraftKings Sportsbook is now fully available to the public, providing sports betting and gaming to anyone, at any time. DraftKings Sportsbook was designed and built with the U.S. sports fan in mind, offering multiple methods to bet, including live, in-game betting for major and niche domestic and international sports. Additionally, Resorts has partnered with The Stars Group to add another mobile and online sports betting site to The Stars Group's internationally recognized online gaming portfolio. These first-of-their-kind partnerships allow Resorts Casino Hotel to further its position as a superior gaming operator in New Jersey.
