Reaction mixed on New Jersey online gambling

19 January 2010

ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey -- Reports that New Jersey would make an effort to legalize online gambling have received a mixed reaction, according to The Press of Atlantic City.

The bill would require equipment used for online gambling be located at an Atlantic City casino.

Some Atlantic City officials are objecting to the proposed legislation because it could create casino-style gambling at horseracing tracks.

Mayor Lorenzo Langford said that the positives outweigh the negatives in the bill and that he would support it, according to The Press of Atlantic City.
