The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) is considering adopting new rules that involves operators reporting on regulated gaming in markets outside the Garden State. The public comment period for the new regulations ended earlier this week.

The changes are largely technical updates to the regulatory language to reflect recent gaming expansion in the state, such as sports betting at racetracks. However, the most substantial change would increase the reporting requirements for operators who also conduct gaming activities outside of New Jersey.

Casino Employees Against Smoking Effects (CEASE), an organization made up of casino workers, also used the public comment period to suggest non-smoking requirements for Atlantic City casinos, although there’s no indication that such a licensing condition is likely to be adopted.
