Atlantic City's Resorts Casino Hotel has been given permission to offer online real-money gambling in the US state of New Jersey.

The casino received approval from the state's Division of Gaming Enforcement following a successful five-day test period during which state inspectors verified that the casino's equipment and systems are working properly.

Casino president Mark Giannantonio said Resorts will now undertake “several weeks” of beta testing to learn what its customers want most before a “full launch” of its already operational website.

Resorts becomes the sixth Atlantic City casino to offer online gambling, following Borgata, Golden Nugget, Tropicana, Caesars and Bally's.
