James Plousis, chairman of the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, is approaching seven years in the role. He has overseen some of the most consequential periods in modern Atlantic City gaming.
GGB Magazine said Plousis has led the commission through the expansion of legal sports betting in the United States.
Plousis Looks Back on Major Changes in New Jersey Gaming
The GGB profile says Plousis has been chairman for almost seven years. During that stretch, New Jersey’s gaming industry experienced the start of nationwide sports betting legalization. He also led the commission through the pandemic period. That period challenged Atlantic City casinos.
He also is backing Atlantic City’s celebration of the 50th anniversary of legalized gaming. That milestone underscores the city’s long-running place in New Jersey’s casino industry.
Atlantic City Officials Are Also Watching Planned New York City Casinos
Plousis has reflected on past changes. He is also focused on what could come next for the regional market.
According to GGB, he is thinking about the possible impact of three new casinos in New York City. One operator specifically mentioned was Resorts World NYC.
Plousis said the four-year gap between the opening of Resorts World NYC and the launch of the other two new casinos would benefit Atlantic City.
That leaves a key issue for Atlantic City casino watchers: how New Jersey regulators and operators will navigate the market. The market is celebrating a historic milestone. It is also preparing for new competition just across the river.
