New Jersey Rescinds Ban on NBA Bets at Golden Nugget

The New Jersey legislature has rescinded a regulation that barred gamblers from betting on the NBA at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City because owner Tilman Fertitta (l.) also owns the Houston Rockets. The new law puts the state on the same plane as Nevada and Mississippi. Meanwhile, Fertitta predicts the addition of two new casinos in AC last year was “a huge mistake.”
