We’ve never been this close to Internet gaming. We’ve talked about it for 10 years. And we’re closer than ever to sports betting." Levenson said.

Governor Kim Guadagno, New Jersey State Senator Ray Lesniak, Mashantucket Pequot Gaming Enterprise, Inc.'s Scott Butera, Revel Entertainment's Kevin DeSanctis, Mitchell Etess of the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority, and Caesars Entertainment's Gary Loveman.
