The world’s largest real money online poker company, PokerStars, plans to develop a $10 million poker room inside Resorts Atlantic City.

Stars entered into a partnership with Resorts this summer to host an online poker site for New Jersey residents.

Company spokesman William J. Pascrell III said construction would start on the poker room immediately after PokerStars is awarded a New Jersey license for Internet gambling, according to the Press of Atlantic City.

“As soon as the license is in hand, they’re ready to start building,” Pascrell said. “It will be the PokerStars poker room at Resorts.”

Stars had originally intended to buy the troubled Atlantic Club Hotel and Casino outright but that deal fell through earlier this year.

“PokerStars is committed to investing significant resources to put in a brand new poker room at Resorts Casino Hotel. In addition to the poker room, they are committed to driving traffic to Atlantic City through their marketing,” Pascrell said.

The PokerStars poker room would offer solid competition to Atlantic City's most successful poker room at the Borgata Casino.
