Stardust Casino NJ Makes its Return to New Jersey
Stardust, the online casino launched by Boyd and FanDuel in New Jersey two years ago, is poised to reopen.
FanDuel Casino is still going to provide online gambling in New Jersey. In early March, the NJ sports betting behemoth took over the previous Stardust online accounts.
Users and account information from Pala Casino has been transferred to the new Stardust Casino NJ.
Have you got it? Maybe? That is sufficient. The main message here is to note that Stardust Casino NJ is still accessible to Garden State online players.
Stardust Casino in Pennsylvania Continues to Wait for Details
Boyd still needs to disclose its plans for Pennsylvania’s Stardust online casino. The Boyd gaming company owns and runs over 25 casinos and racinos around the country, including Valley Forge Casino Resort in King of Prussia.
Boyd sold its 50% stake in Borgata to MGM Resorts International, its AC operating partnership, in 2016. The $590 million transaction closed in 2016.
Borgata, the most successful casino in Atlantic City, will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2023.
Boyd, Stardust’s History Extends Back to Las Vegas
Returning to Stardust and Boyd’s relationship with the famed (or infamous) Sin City casino.
In 1985, Boyd Gaming purchased the legally problematic Stardust Resort & Casino. From 1958 to 2006, the casino was located on the northern end of the Las Vegas Strip. Stardust imploded in 2007.
Genting Group’s Resorts World Las Vegas is now on the site.
What about FanDuel? Well, the largest online sportsbook operator in the United States will be alright.
Boyd owns 5% of FanDuel, which Flutter Entertainment plc owns. Prior to the US online sports betting boom, the Dublin-based gaming corporation wisely purchased the daily fantasy sports brand in 2018.
