Up until recently many brick and mortar casino giants have looked down on the online gambling industry, most because they saw them as competition. This is not the case anymore. Many casino giants are partnering up with online casinos to make up for lost revenue in the past several years.

The only problem is, right now online gambling isn't regulated by the US Government so these business ventures have to wait to actually start.

Donald Trump with Trump Casino is one example of this. He has teamed up with investors in New York to produce what seems to be an unstoppable affiliation. The only problem is not being able to implement their plan just yet. He has "determined that such a joint venture represents the most advantageous for the company to participate in opportunities in online gambling at minimal cost to the company."

As for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, he does not like the idea of regulating online casino games in his state. He says that it will lead to an explosion of betting parlors statewide.

The Donald argues that many Americans are spending their money at off-shore casinos, and that is money that US businesses as well as the US Government is losing out on.

Trump was actually considering running for presidency in the upcoming election but opted out to do a new season on Celebrity Apprentice. Perhaps is Trump would have been more concerned with being an authority figure rather than playing one on TV he would have been able to do something about it.

This is such a big issue for Atlantic City especially because they have been going through a slump for the past five years now; online partnerships could turn things around.
