Tilman Fertitta’s proposed acquisition of Caesars Entertainment will undergo review by New Jersey gaming regulators before the transaction can close.
The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE), under the direction of the Attorney General’s Office, confirmed that it will review the proposed acquisition in accordance with the state’s Casino Control Act and related regulations. The review is part of the standard regulatory process for significant ownership changes involving Atlantic City casino operators.
In a statement, the DGE said it expects its review to align with the parties’ anticipated closing timeline.
New Jersey regulators routinely examine major casino transactions to assess ownership structures, financing arrangements, and compliance with state gaming laws.
