A 5362 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits casino licensees from using non-wagering casino games to solicit future gaming.

This bill prohibits New Jersey casino licensees from using non-wagering casino games to solicit future gambling. It specifically bans casino operators from conducting games that offer rewards for participation or encourage future wagering, even if players don't make an initial monetary investment. The bill defines "non-wagering casino game" as any experience equivalent to licensed casino games but without requiring real money to play. This regulation aims to prevent casinos from using free games with fictitious points that might attract underage individuals or entice people to eventually gamble with real money.
