Speaking Wednesday at the East Coast Gaming Congress in Atlantic City, industry executives and legislators from gambling states offered various explanations for why internet gambling has yet to expand beyond a handful of eastern states. Internet gambling is legal in New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, Pennsylvania and West Virginia; Nevada offers online poker but not casino games. Internet gambling brought in $1.6 billion in New Jersey in 2022, up more than 21% from a year earlier. That should give internet gambling another look in many places, they said. Siobhan Lane, CEO of Gaming for Light & Wonder, said she is optimistic about the likely expansion of internet gambling.
