A New Jersey Senate committee has advanced legislation that would remove the criminal penalty attached to underage gambling in the state, replacing it with a tiered system of civil fines. The bill, S597, cleared committee review and now moves forward in the legislative process, drawing attention from casino operators, regulators, and responsible gaming advocates across the industry. What the Bill Would Change Under current New Jersey law, an individual under the age of 21 who is caught gambling at a casino or simulcasting facility faces a disorderly persons offense.
