The agency proposal follows:

 

Summary

Recent legislation (P.L. 2011, c. 231) supplementing Title 5 of New Jersey Revised Statutes and amending the Casino Control Act and the Casino Simulcasting Act (P.L. 1977, c. 110 and P.L. 1992, c. 19) permits wagering at casinos and racetracks on certain professional and collegiate sports or athletic events. Pursuant to section 2.a of the new legislation, the Division of Gaming Enforcement (Division) is authorized to hear and decide applications for a license to operate a "sports pool," defined as "the business of accepting wagers on any sports event by any system or method of wagering," and to have the general responsibility for implementing sports wagering in the State of New Jersey.

In furtherance of the Act, the Division is authorized to promulgate regulations governing: (1) the standards for the issuance of a license and ongoing licensure to operate a sports pool; (2) the requirements of a "sports wagering lounge," the area wherein a sports pool is operated; (3) any contract between a holder of a license to operate a sports pool and an entity to conduct that operation; (4) the registration of certain employees who are working in a sports wagering lounge but are not employed directly in wagering-related activities; (5) its determination of the percentage of the fee paid for a license to operate a sports pool to be allocated for prevention, education, and treatment programs for certain compulsive gambling programs; and (6) the conduct of sports pools and sports wagering "to the same extent that the division regulates other casino games," including the amount of cash reserves to be maintained by operators to cover winning wagers, acceptance of wagers on a series of sports events, maximum wagers which may be accepted by an operator from any one patron on any one sports event, type of wagering tickets which may be used, method of issuing tickets, method of accounting to be used by operators, types of records required to be kept, use of credit and checks by patrons, type of wagering system, protections for persons placing a wager, and the required "gambling problem" advisory to be displayed in print, billboard, sign, online, or broadcast advertisements of a sports pool and in every sports wagering lounge.

In accordance with its statutory responsibility to promulgate rules, the Division proposes new rules regarding sports wagering to be offered to patrons at Atlantic City casinos and New Jersey racetracks. The Division, pursuant to the enabling legislation, has consulted with both the Casino Control Commission and the Racing Commission, particularly with regard to those proposed rules addressed to matters related to their respective jurisdictions. Upon such consultation, the Division has included certain suggestions of those agencies in these proposed rules.

Proposed new rule N.J.A.C. 13:69N-1.1 sets forth definitions applicable to the licensing and operation of a sports pool.

Proposed new rule N.J.A.C. 13:69N-1.2 sets forth eligibility requirements of a sports pool license issued by the Division to operate a sports pool. The new rule further restricts sports pool licensure to a casino licensed by the Casino Control Commission, and a racetrack licensed by [page=1872] the New Jersey Racing Commission, the latter upon approval of the Racing Commission. A racetrack is defined to include the site of a former racetrack. The new rule also contemplates, upon Division and Racing Commission approval, the licensing by the Division of a joint operation of a sports pool by a casino licensee and a racetrack. In addition, the new rule enables a casino operating pursuant to interim casino authorization to apply for a sports pool license and the Division to issue an interim sports pool permit to such an applicant.

Proposed new rule N.J.A.C. 13:69N-1.3 fixes the initial application fee for a sports pool license at $ 50,000, and a resubmission fee every five years thereafter of $ 50,000. The new rule exempts from such fee the State of New Jersey and any agency or authority thereof.

Proposed new rule N.J.A.C. 13:69N-1.4 allocates 50 percent of any sports pool application fee or any resubmission fee for prevention, education, and treatment programs for compulsive gambling programs that meet the criteria developed pursuant to section 2 of P.L. 1993, c. 229 (N.J.S.A. 26:2-169), such as those provided by the Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey, and including the development and implementation of programs that identify and assist problem gamblers.

Proposed new rule N.J.A.C. 13:69N-1.5 imposes upon all applicants for a sports pool licensee and all sports pool licensees the obligation to pay, in addition to any licensing fee, the costs of the Division related to the conduct of its sports wagering operations.

Proposed new rule N.J.A.C. 13:69N-1.6 requires each non-casino applicant for a sports pool license to submit a Business Entity Disclosure Form, the form required to be submitted as part of the application for a casino license.

Proposed new rule N.J.A.C. 13:69N-1.7 requires each non-casino entity that a casino operator or racetrack operator contracts with to conduct sports pool wagering to obtain a casino service industry enterprise license pursuant to N.J.S.A. 5:12-92.a and N.J.A.C. 13:69J.

Proposed new rule N.J.A.C. 13:69N-1.8 requires: (i) a person directly involved in the operation of sports pool wagering to be licensed by the Casino Control Commission as a casino key employee; and (ii) a person not directly involved in the operation of sports pool wagering but who works in a sports wagering facility to be registered with the Division as a casino employee if the Division so requires.

Proposed new rule N.J.A.C. 13:69N-1.9 requires a sports pool operator to conduct sports pool wagering at a sports pool lounge of sufficient square footage to promote optimum security of the facility, including security and surveillance equipment. The Division shall have direct access to a required closed circuit television system or the system's signal.

Proposed new rule N.J.A.C. 13:69N-1.10 requires, unless otherwise approved by the Division, a sports pool operator to establish and maintain a cage or satellite cage in, or immediately adjacent to, its sports pool lounge.

Proposed new rule N.J.A.C. 13:69N-1.11 requires sports pool operators to maintain and file for Division approval internal controls for all aspects of their sports wagering operations prior to their implementation.

Proposed new rule N.J.A.C. 13:69N-1.12 requires all manufacturers, suppliers, and repairers of sports pool wagering equipment to be licensed in accordance with the standards for a gaming-related casino service industry enterprise license pursuant to N.J.S.A. 5:12-92.a.

Proposed new rule N.J.A.C. 13:69N-2.1 prohibits a person from wagering on behalf or on the account of another person.

Proposed new rule N.J.A.C. 13:69N-2.2 delineates requirements for: (1) sports wagering to occur in a simulcast facility or other designated area as approved by the Division; (2) an oddsmaker and an operations wagering manager for a wagering operator; (3) wagering counters and stations; (4) non-commingling of casino simulcast revenue from sports wagering revenue if a casino simulcast cashier accepts sports wagers; (5) sports pool operator internal controls for accounting and reconciliation of assets and documents in sports wagering cashier drawers; and (6) sports pool operator adoption and display of comprehensive house rules governing wagering transactions with patrons, which rules may be rejected by the Division. Proposed new rule N.J.A.C. 13:69N-2.2(f) sets the minimum age for sports wagering at 21 years of age.

Proposed new rule N.J.A.C. 13:69N-2.3 sets forth a requirement that a wagering operator shall, at least two business days prior to accepting a wager, provide written notification to the Division of the first time wagering on an event is offered to the public. The new rule specifies certain attributes of sports events for which wagering would be permissible and outlines the prohibition on wagering on any collegiate or athletic event that takes place in New Jersey or any individual sporting or athletic event in which any New Jersey college team directly participates regardless of where the event takes place. The new rule further reserves unto the Division the right to prohibit the acceptance of wagers, and to order the cancellation of wagers and require refunds on any event for which wagering would be contrary to the public policies of the State. The new rule sets forth the required information on any wagering ticket issued, including event number, ticket number, date and time of issuance, amount of wager, payout odds, and redemption and expiration information. The new rule specifies the procedure for the redemption of winning sports wagering tickets including the procedure for redemptions by mail. The new rule mandates the expiration of a wagering ticket one year after the event and subjects expired tickets to the provisions of N.J.S.A. 5:12-141.2.b governing the treatment of expired gaming obligations.

N.J.A.C. 13:69N-2.4 enables a wagering operator to accept a "layoff wager," a wager made by an operator comprised of patron wagers, from another New Jersey wagering operator for the purpose of offsetting patron wagers.

N.J.A.C. 13:69N-2.5 requires operators to maintain adequate cash reserves to cover sports wagering obligations.

N.J.A.C. 13:69N-3.1 details the required totalisator-generated reports for a sports wagering operation. The new rule also sets forth other sports wagering revenue reporting requirements.

This notice of proposal is not required to be referenced in a rulemaking calendar since a public comment period of 60 days is being provided. See N.J.A.C. 1:30-3.3(a)5.

 

Social Impact

The proposed new rules at N.J.A.C. 13:69N would introduce a new type of wagering at both casinos and racetracks to the array of casino games currently offered by Atlantic City casinos to the gaming public. The proposed new rules are not anticipated to have any social impact independent of that created by the statutory authorization that permits the Division to regulate sports wagering. It is anticipated that the implementation of sports wagering will generate significant patron interest, but it is uncertain how many new or additional patrons will be attracted to Atlantic City or racetracks as a result of its introduction.

 

Economic Impact

Implementation of sports wagering will, by its very nature, require casino licensees and racetracks to incur some costs in preparing to offer wagering of this type to the public. Since sports wagering may be offered in a casino licensee's simulcasting facility and to some extent be combined with a casino licensee's existing simulcast operations, the start-up costs for many casinos should be minimized. It is expected that racetracks may incur substantially greater start-up costs in order to comply with certain physical design and structure requirements as well as security and surveillance requirements. Whatever these costs are they should be offset by the increased revenues generated. It is unknown whether approval of these rules would affect the value of the site of any former racetrack. Atlantic City casino licensees and New Jersey racetrack licensees may utilize sports wagering to grow their revenues and to market another attraction that distinguishes them from gaming competition in other states.

To the extent sports wagering does generate increased casino revenues, senior and disabled citizens of New Jersey will benefit from the additional tax revenues that will be collected. As noted above, however, any attempt to quantify the effects of the introduction of sports wagering would be highly speculative at this time.

It is not anticipated that the proposed new rules will require the Division to incur significant additional costs in introducing and otherwise regulating sports wagering in Atlantic City.

The fees charged to licensees for the issuance of and resubmissions for sports pool licenses should be offset by the revenues generated. Benefits [page=1873] in the form of financial funding would inure to compulsive gambling programs since, as noted, 50 percent of these fees are to be allocated to these programs. With respect to the expansion of gaming that sports wagering represents and its impact on compulsive gamblers, the Division recognizes that authorization of any additional forms of wagering poses added temptation to those who cannot participate in gaming with moderation or within their means.

 

Federal Standards Statement

A Federal standards analysis is not required because Federal law does not impose standards or requirements in this area.

 

Jobs Impact

The proposed new rules are not anticipated to create new jobs in the gaming industry unless casino operators determine that their existing operations and workforces do not adequately accommodate patron interest in sports wagering. However, any attempt to predict the impact of the proposed new rules upon the number of jobs in the gaming industry would be speculative at this time.

 

Agriculture Industry Impact

The proposed new rules will have no impact on agriculture in New Jersey.

 

Regulatory Flexibility Statement

The proposed new rules will only affect the operations of New Jersey casino licensees and New Jersey racetracks, none of which qualifies as a "small business" as defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act, N.J.S.A. 52:14B-16 et seq., as each such entity has more than 100 full-time employees. Accordingly, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.

 

Housing Affordability Impact Analysis

The proposed new rules will have no impact on the affordability of housing in the State of New Jersey because they affect the regulation of casinos in Atlantic City and existing and former racetracks in New Jersey.

 

Smart Growth Development Impact Analysis

The proposed new rules will have no impact on housing production in Planning Areas 1 and 2, or within designated centers, under the State Development and Redevelopment Plan because they affect the regulation of casinos in Atlantic City and existing and former racetracks in New Jersey.

Possible applications of AI in online casinos

Possible applications of AI in online casinos

Artificial intelligence (AI) has long since found its way into various industries, where it is permanently changing the way business is conducted. Online casinos in Germany are no exception. The use of AI technologies opens up numerous application possibilities that not only increase efficiency but also improve the gaming experience. This article presents the most fascinating applications of AI in online casinos.
