This week, PokerStars has launched its online poker service in New Jersey, a move that could have a significant impact on the American gambling market. Several online pokie developers will be working with PokerStars to offer a wide range of casino games for players to enjoy. NextGen Gaming and Net Entertainment will provide pokies and other games on the PokerStars platform.

This is the first time in years that PokerStars will be offering its services in the United States. The company was kicked out of the country’s gambling market after it was discovered to be operating illegally; now, PokerStars is doing things the right way, having obtained a state-wide license in New Jersey only. In recent years, PokerStars has become more than an online poker site, offering up a wide range of casino games.

For its re-entry into the American market, the company decided to use games from NextGen, as the company’s pokies have performed well across Europe and other regulated markets around the world. "We're delighted to announce our go-live in New Jersey with PokerStars, who complement a roster of premium, regulated operators licensing content via NYX,” says David Johnson, Commercial Director of NYX, the parent company of NexGen.

“With over 650 games and 170 customers worldwide, NYX Gaming Group boasts the widest distribution network of real money wagering slots games in the industry." Net Entertainment’s pokies will also go live on PokerStars’ New Jersey platform. The company has received numerous awards in recent years, and PokerStars is eager to offer its games to a new audience in America.

“We are really thrilled to be live with a selection of our award-winning desktop and mobile games through PokerStars in New Jersey,” says Björn Krantz, Managing Director of Net Entertainment in America. I am confident that our portfolio offering will support their strategy to build sustainable long-term digital casino growth in New Jersey,” says Björn Krantz, Managing Director of NetEnt
