Resorts Casino bids for sports betting license in New Jersey
Resorts Casino has submitted its bid to obtain the license for offering sports betting in New Jersey by the time the football season starts in September.
Mark Giannantonio, the president of Resorts Casino, told the Associated Press on Tuesday his company met the deadline by the state Division of Gaming Enforcement to apply for sports betting this fall.
The DGE wanted applications in by the end of the day Monday in order to give regulators enough time to assess them before football starts.
So far, two Atlantic City casinos, the Borgata and Ocean Resort, and two horse tracks, Monmouth Park and the Meadowlands, offer sports betting.
The Golden Nugget has applied for in-person and mobile sports betting. Hard Rock is awaiting approval of its application, and the three casinos owned by Caesars Entertainment have applied for in-person betting, mobile betting or both. In-person betting would be held at Harrah’s and Bally’s (which also would service the adjacent Caesars casino), and the company would offer mobile sports betting aligned with all three of its Atlantic City casinos.
Officials at the Tropicana did not immediately respond to a request for comment on their sports betting plans. The casino and its parent company are in the process of being sold to Eldorado Resorts.
There are 14 potential sports betting licensees: the nine Atlantic City casinos, the three functioning racetracks (Monmouth Park in Oceanport, the Meadowlands in East Rutherford, and Freehold Raceway in Freehold), and two former track sites (Atlantic City Race Course in Mays Landing and the former Garden State Park site in Cherry Hill).
Officials at Freehold’s parent company did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.

Beyond the Hype: How Affiliates Built a Sustainable Success Story with Aviamasters™
Â
The rise of casual games in recent years has been difficult to ignore. Otherwise known as crash or instant-win titles, they have proven to be a massive hit with players. Their mobile-friendly interfaces, social features, and made-for-streaming gameplay have made them a viral sensation and have seen many top studios get involved with their own iterations.
However, this market saturation has led to many of these games, especially aviation-themed ones, flying off into the distance and being very quickly forgotten. With every studio trying to crack the market, it can be extremely difficult to achieve long-term, sustainable success.
A Successful Launch
Fortunately, with Aviamasters™, we have struck gold. Not only has our game managed to go viral, but it has also maintained continued, impressive growth over a sustained period. This has been no easy feat. While engaging and unique gameplay mechanics no doubt play their part, the real secret to Aviamasters™’ longevity has been its organic, affiliate-driven growth that has helped create a loyal userbase and allowed it to become a word-of-mouth hit.
Of course, you shouldn’t just take our word for it. The most compelling evidence of Aviamasters™’s success is its impressive metrics. Over a five-month period, the game saw a 740% increase in new players. However, this is not just a fleeting trend or a moment in the spotlight; the game has shown steady growth since its launch.
An Online Community
We believe the root cause of much of this growth is the game’s unique feature — landing the plane and its inherent unpredictability — combined with its incredible online presence and traction, which affiliates and streamers have played a massive role in. The game has generated significant buzz on social media, with over 500 million TikTok views and more than 200 new videos being uploaded daily. This virality has been reinforced by strong affiliate campaigns that have helped build an active community around the game.
This collaborative, community-led approach has helped set Aviamasters™ apart from other games that have struggled to take off in the same way. It has allowed it to create a self-sustaining engine of growth, with new players coming to the game repeatedly.
Of course, there is also a domino effect on the game’s success. The continued interest in Aviamasters™ generates interest in other BGaming products, which, in turn, benefits our operating partners hosting them.
As such, the game is no longer just a huge hit for us, but also a crucial entry funnel for new audiences and their introduction to our products. Likewise, this is hugely beneficial to our operators, providing them with returning customers.
This popularity with our operating partners has been reflected in the demand for custom versions of the game. Shuffle released its own take on the game with Happy Bird, while RainBet offers its own unique version of Aviamasters™, both of which have been a huge success. This level of brand integration highlights the confidence that our partners have in the game. It also demonstrates how Aviamasters™ has become an essential product in their library.
A Recipe for Success
While the numbers tell an impressive story, the success of Aviamasters™ ultimately comes down to its unique gameplay mechanic that has been well-executed and has connected with an audience. The simple combination of something easy to grasp and also deeply engaging has allowed the game to take off and become a viral hit organically.
This, combined with a robust promotional ecosystem and a strong online community, has enabled Aviamasters™ to create a blueprint for casual games looking to build an audience and succeed in an increasingly competitive and challenging market.

Ivan Montik and Rubens Barrichello take stage at SBC Summit: Excellence Under Pressure
Â
It’s hard to find a business sector evolving faster today than iGaming. Perhaps only Formula 1, with its incredible speed, comes close. Champions of innovation and speed, Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS and Rubens Barrichello, former F1 driver and Non-Executive Director in Latin America at SOFTSWISS, will take the Super Stage at the SBC Summit in Lisbon on 16 September. Their fireside chat, Excellence Under Pressure: Evolving in a Fast-Moving Space, will explore how to thrive in an industry that never slows down.
The SBC Summit is one of the world’s leading events for the sports betting and iGaming industry, bringing together more than 25,000 delegates, 600 speakers, and 1,000 exhibitors from across the globe. Its Super Stage hosts the headline sessions, featuring thought leaders who shape the industry’s future. Against this backdrop, the fireside chat between Montik and Barrichello promises to be a highlight of the Lisbon event.
In Formula 1, excellence means performing at the limit while rules and technology constantly evolve. iGaming is no different. In this fireside chat, Ivan Montik and Rubens Barrichello will explore how to sustain excellence under pressure – turning regulation into advantage, balancing speed with reliability, and building systems that adapt without breaking. Barrichello will share lessons from F1’s rapid technological changes, while Montik will show how SOFTSWISS applies similar agility in iGaming, innovating quickly while ensuring compliance and stability.
Last year, Montik and Barrichello’s dialogue on leadership became one of the highlights of the SBC Leaders Summit, sparking strong interest from the audience. Building on that success, they return to the stage this year with a new focus: innovation.Â
“Excellence under pressure means building systems that adapt fast without breaking. As a founder, I always stand for consistency, reputation, and delivering for our clients. We never innovate for the sake of innovation – but we always look ahead. Our R&D team closely monitors trends so we don’t miss them, but create them. At the same time, we ensure stable, uninterrupted iGaming software that runs 24/7 with uptime close to 100%. At this speed, it’s about taking every curve smoothly and helping our clients lead in every market. I look forward to meeting our partners at the Summit, sharing insights, and connecting in person,” said Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS.
Ivan Montik and Rubens Barrichello will also join the SOFTSWISS team at Stand B160 to discuss the business and innovations worldwide.
