The Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa to give this fine establishment its full name is the biggest hotel in New Jersey. Owned by Boyd Gaming and MGM Resorts it opened its doors in July 2003 and has a modern Tuscany theme. The Borgata was designed to be a Las Vegas style casino resort that offered a whole lot more than just gambling, and it achieved just that with plenty of great bars, restaurants and entertainment it provides locals and visitors alike with a fantastic casino experience and it’s now the highest grossing casino in the Garden State. The Borgata has also embraced the world of online gaming too and now offers both online poker and casino games, and to indulge in those you’ll need to be over 21 years old and be physically located in the state of New Jersey. Law changes made this possible and all 12 New Jersey casinos now hold licenses to operate online casinos, however at present only 7 do so.
