Last year, the state of New Jersey welcomed back online gaming after the infamous Black Friday incident of 2011 in which authorities ordered all online poker operators to cease their operations in the United States. After months of screening potential power players in the state and testing out how players will respond to this renewed sensation, the online gaming industry in the country is now in full swing.
After seeing how lucrative the online gaming is for Nevada and Delaware—two of the states that allowed online gaming after the Black Friday incident—the state of New Jersey immediately jumped the bandwagon and made sure that they can get a cut from a large portion of players who want online poker, casino, and bingo back in the United States.
Probably one reason why New Jersey turned to online gaming and followed the footsteps of its neighbors is because of the dwindling influence of Atlantic City to the gaming industry, which translates to millions of revenue lost from players turning away from the city. And true enough, the influx of online gaming to the state defibrillated the state’s dying gaming revenue, with the state’s gaming revenue increasing from $224 million last year as opposed to $176 million in 2012.
One of the first companies to bring back online gaming to the US, bwin.party Digital Entertainment, brought more than online poker, casino, and betting to the country. By forging a partnership with Win, a social media company backed by Bwin Party, the company is now bent on conquering even the social media platform, by launching a Facebook version of Cheekybingo the gaming company’s popular bingo game in the US. Aside from the Facebook app, versions for the iOS and Android were also released.
According to Win CEO, Barak Rabinowitz, American bingo fans are in for a treat with the brand well-loved in the UK crossing the Atlantic.
“We are passionate about bringing the most fun to our players. Cheeky Bingo is a great example of our mission and we are incredibly proud to introduce the game to American audiences today,” said Rabinowitz.
