In fact, the Golden Nugget is the dominant online casino operator in NJ, and they have a tight grip of 34% over the gaming shares. Additionally, the casino certainly has the liquidity to invest in a new project since their gross gaming revenues (GGR) frequently exceeds $30 million MOM.

Furthermore, Golden Nugget was never scared to innovate since they developed a live casino not long ago. And we cannot forget that Churchill Downs brings a lot of online experience to the table too. All and all, many believe that with this partnership Golden Nugget is tapping into a new segment of potential patrons.

We only hope that the new platform will be ready on time to compete with Scientific Games OpenBet platform. If so, this would give punters a much broader array of odds and may lead to more competitive welcome offers! So, fingers crossed they got their timing right!
