Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa Announces Construction Of New Sports Book
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Atlantic City’s market-leading resort will invest over $11 million into the addition of a new bar and sports wagering experience
Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa announced today it will begin construction of a new venue that will integrate an entertaining bar experience with sports wagering. Adding more than $11 million in development to Borgata’s resort, the destination bar will make its anticipated debut this summer.
“Since Borgata arrived in the Atlantic City market more than 15 years ago, we have maintained a steadfast dedication to property growth and development, with our new concept exemplifying this objective,” said Marcus Glover, President & Chief Operating Officer for Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa. “We are proud to have been at the forefront of legalized sports betting in New Jersey and look forward to advancing our product with an innovative gaming and entertainment experience for our guests to enjoy.”
Borgata made history last June when it became the first Atlantic City casino to accept a legal sports wager under new sports betting regulations in New Jersey. The historic wager came just three days after NJ Governor Phil Murphy signed a bill passed unanimously by the State Legislature, creating a regulated environment where licensed casinos may establish legal sports books.
Since accepting that first inaugural bet, Borgata launched the playMGM NJ Sports mobile sports-betting app in New Jersey. In partnership with GVC Holdings, the playMGM NJ Sports app features a full range of U.S. and selected international sports with customers able to sign-up, deposit and withdraw cash directly from their mobile devices from any location in New Jersey.
As a part of MGM Resorts International, Borgata brings the wealth of that company’s sports book experience to its operation. MGM Resorts International possesses more than 25 years of sports wagering operations experience in Nevada, where the company’s resorts combine to write more than 4 million sports wagers each year with annual handle in excess of $1 billion. Strategic relationships like those announced with the NBA and WNBA, NHL, MLB, as well as the New York Jets, firmly establish MGM Resorts and playMGM as the market leader in partnerships with major professional sports leagues.

Released in 2024, Majestic Express Gold Run is one of Pragmatic Play’s newer titles and is quickly establishing a presence among crypto casino players. Set against a backdrop of gold-laced train tracks, the slot is packed with fast spins, collection mechanics, and a notable bonus potential — up to 20,000x per bet, according to the provider.
It’s bold, direct, and doesn’t waste time — a perfect match for players chasing big moments in a few high-stakes spins.
The Person Behind the Spin

Romania Bans Celebrities from Gambling Ads
Celebrities will no longer be able to appear in gambling ads on TV, radio and online, following a decision voted on Wednesday in a public meeting of the National Audiovisual Council of Romania (CAN). The provision is part of a series of amendments that passed the Code of Broadcasting Regulation, the NAC’s secondary legislation.
“It is forbidden to broadcast advertising for gambling featuring public, cultural, scientific, sports or other personalities who, due to their online notoriety, may encourage participation in such games,” says the new Article 110, paragraph 7 of the newly voted Audiovisual Code.
The new provision will become mandatory in a few months, more precisely 90 days after the Audiovisual Code enters into force.
Several amendments were submitted by institutions or gambling companies in an attempt to stop this provision.
Among the challengers were Winbet, which asked the CNA to allow stars to be used at least in “social responsibility” campaigns. So did the Romanian Football Federation, which proposed that personalities should be allowed to appear in awareness or social responsibility campaigns.
Kaizergaming, the Federation of Gambling Organisers and the Romanian Bureau of Transmedia Audit asked for the deletion of the article.
All amendments were unanimously rejected.

Vyking Adopts Oracle HeatWave MySQL & Analytics Cloud
Vyking, the next-generation iGaming platform provider, has announced a major infrastructure shift to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), along with the adoption of Oracle HeatWave MySQL and Oracle Analytics Cloud. This move marks a key milestone in Vyking’s commitment to delivering scalable, resilient and insight-driven platform solutions for modern iGaming operators.
By migrating its platform to OCI, Vyking has eliminated its dependence on co-located or on-premises server infrastructure and unlocked a new level of global performance, flexibility and operational efficiency. As a result, OCI will help Vyking enable its customers to stay ahead in an increasingly competitive and regulated digital landscape.
OCI provides Vyking with a secure, scalable, high-performance and cost-efficient cloud infrastructure built for mission-critical workloads. Compared to other hyperscalers, OCI delivers an average cost savings of up to 50% while offering enterprise-grade SLAs, built-in security and global reach.
Vyking can now benefit from OCI’s global network of 200+ live and planned cloud regions as well as its sovereign cloud and data residency capabilities that are essential for regulated iGaming markets. Each Oracle Cloud region offers a consistent set of 200+ enterprise-grade cloud and AI services that will enable Vyking to run its application faster, more securely and for less. With OCI, Vyking can perform its critical iGaming operations that require 99.99% uptime, compliance readiness and dynamic scalability across multiple jurisdictions.
Vyking’s adoption of Oracle HeatWave MySQL enables real-time analytics directly within MySQL, reducing the complexity and latency of traditional ETL workflows. The in-memory accelerator delivers industry-leading query performance, while support for AutoML and generative AI empowers operators with next-level data insights and automation.
“With Oracle HeatWave, we can query over 800 million records in just seconds, giving us a significant edge in running real-time analytical queries directly within MySQL. This level of performance enables us to deliver faster insights and smarter automation for our operators, without the complexity of external analytics engines,” said Helmut Kleinhans, Chief Technology Officer at Vyking.
Additionally, Oracle Analytics Cloud brings powerful AI-driven dashboards and predictive tools to the Vyking ecosystem, allowing business users and analysts to explore data intuitively with natural language queries and rich visualisations.
As Vyking continues to evolve, its Oracle powered cloud-native foundation will ensure clients benefit from greater performance, lower TCO and actionable insights—all delivered with enterprise reliability.
“This move is about more than infrastructure, it’s about unlocking freedom, intelligence, and scale for our operators. Adopting Oracle’s technology allows us to deliver the performance and autonomy today’s iGaming brands need — while laying the foundation for real-time analytics, smarter personalization, and global growth,” said Franz Gerhart, CEO at Vyking.
