It appears MGM Resorts International and its Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa is poised to launch New Jersey’s first online and mobile sportsbook.

In fact, MGM Resorts International Chairman and CEO Jim Murren said the company plans to launch a New Jersey mobile sports betting product by the end of the week.

Murren was speaking at a July 31 New York City press conference announcing MGM had become the official gaming partner of the NBA and WNBA at the time.

There has been no formal announcement regarding the MGM mobile sports betting launch in New Jersey.

Murren was talking about MGM’s sports betting operations in Las Vegas and Atlantic City when he may have unwittingly revealed its playMGM sports betting app is ready to launch in the Garden State:

“Fortunately we have a running start here, because we operate the largest sports betting operation in Las Vegas with our 10 resorts. We hub out of the Mirage property, but as you know, we own properties up and down the Las Vegas Boulevard. And our playMGM app has been active for quite some time and is already quite popular.

“Closer to home here, of course we own Borgata, and at the end of this week, we’ll be taking mobile bets from Borgata and playMGM in New Jersey.”


There’s an app for that:

These same odds are offered on the very popular playMGM mobile sports betting app operating on an IGT software platform in Nevada. It uses geolocation software and age verification to ensure the legality of all mobile bets.

MGM will likely launch a version of the same app in New Jersey.

The app offers wagers on a variety of sports betting formats, including:

Futures
Live wagers
Moneylines
Parlays
Point spreads
Propositions
Teasers

Earlier this week, MGM also announced it had struck a deal with Boyd Gaming to take its online gambling and sports betting products nationwide.

It’s likely that MGM’s announcement will spur Caesars, Golden Nugget and other potential NJ sports betting operators to join the online wagering market soon.
