While the figures do not compare to what the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/new-jersey-casinos-suffer-declines-in-in-person-gambling-revenue-in-2023\/\">casinos scoop up from in-person gambling which fell in 2023<\/a> in their land facilities, the proposed tax rate on online casino revenue would translate to their revenue diminishing. <\/p>\n<p>This is why bill S3064 is expected to be strongly opposed by Atlantic City casinos. Casino Association of New Jersey\u2019s President <strong>Mark Giannantonio<\/strong> explained that the organization \u201c<em>strongly opposes any proposed tax increase for online gaming<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Provided their lobbying is successful and the casinos manage to mount a sturdy opposition, the bill will likely not be able to reach any committee.<\/p>\n<p>Since the same casinos were able to effectively lobby for a revenue-sharing program with the state that would eliminate any revenue obtained from online gambling activity instead of paying property taxes, their success in relation to the new proposal does not seem far-fetched.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary: New Jersey Senator John F.
