Heading into April, the best online casinos in NJ saw some of the biggest increases in game selection in recent months. Two casinos went all in and added over 30 titles, while 3 more added between 10 and 30.

This is great news for you NJ online casino players, as newer games tend to have higher return-to-player percentages, and some even have some huge max payouts.

Let’s take a look at what April ushered in….

The Thirty-Somethings

888 Casino is our big winner this month, adding 38 games. This is a refreshing change, as this online casino had not added any new titles in January or February, although they did add 16 in December and 35 in November.

These large additions have moved 888 up the ladder a bit and they now are in 11th place out of 16 casinos for sheer number of games. At month’s end they had 272 slot titles, 4 Blackjack variations, 5 video poker titles and 8 table games, for a total of 289.

Among their newest acquisitions are three new table games (Let It Ride, French Roulette, and Three Card Poker), as well as 35 slot titles.

Some of those slot titles are tried-and-true games, like Zeus God of Thunder, Jackpot Jester Wild Nudge, Doctor Jekyll Goes Wild and Monopoly Bring the House Down. But there are also some newer games for you to test out, including:

• Bollywood Story
• Coins of Egypt
• Double Stacks
• Legend of the White Buffalo
• Moon Temple
• Shields of the Wild
• Sword of Destiny
• Wild Bazaar

Ocean’s online casino came in just one shy of 888, with 37 new titles. We’re glad to see that the online site is undergoing positive improvements, as their hotel partner, Ocean Resort and Casino, has been undergoing a change in ownership, putting much in question.

The site has been fairly static since its debut last year, with just a few additions here and there.

This influx of games brings their total game count to 239, and while that places them in 15 out 16 casinos, they have 136 more than #16 and are only 1 shy of #15 and 7 shy of #13. So another good month could really move them up in rankings.

All of the new additions are slot titles, and like 888 above, many are older favorites. But there are some new and exciting slots, like:

• Bollywood Story
• Golden Chief
• Legend of the Pharaoh
• Renegades
• Spartacus Call to Arms
• Vikings
• Wild Bazaar

To recap, Ocean’s online casino now has 220 slots, 3 Blackjack variations, 7 video poker titles and 9 table games.

We also want to note the build-up of BetAmerica, a new NJ online casino. They’ve spent the last 6 weeks aggressively adding to their gaming library.

They currently have 302 titles, including 285 slots, 2 Blackjack, 9 video poker, and 6 table games. We’ll begin regular monthly reports on them next month, but this fast start places them right in the middle of the pack at #10.

The Twenty-Somethings

Pala Casino online really amped up their gaming library with 23 new titles, all of which were slot additions.

There are some old standards in the mix, including Cool Loot, Hoot Loot, Double Da Vinci Diamonds, Triple Topaz and Triple Hoot, as well as some newer ones, like Art of the Steal, The Three Graces, Great Balloon Adventure, and Valkyrie Queen.

Sitting in the #9 slot, Pala now has 296 slots, 4 Blackjack variations, 8 video poker options and 5 table games, for a total of 313.

Resorts NJ Online Casino and sister casino Mohegan Sun both added 12 slot titles, 1 table game and 8 Live Dealer options in the last month, placing them in the #2 and #3 position, with 540 and 534 games, respectively.

They have the most slots (547), most Blackjack (15), most video poker options (17) and the most table games (19), for a whopping 598 gaming titles.

All the new additions were slot titles:

Hard Rock’s Casino online has been very slow to add games of late, and they actually lost 4 slot titles, while adding 1 slot title and 1 table game in the last month. They sit in the #12 spot, well ahead of Tropicana at #13 and 16 games behind #11 888 Casino.

With a net loss of 2 games, they came into April with 273 games, including 261 slots, 2 blackjack, 5 video poker, and 5 table games. The new additions were Three Card Poker and Cleo’s Wish.

Tropicana Casino and sister site Virgin Casino added just one new title to the mix in the last month, keeping them in the 13th and 14th position, with 246 and 240 total games, respectively. That new title was Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.

Starting April off, Tropicana has 217 slots, 9 Blackjack, 8 video poker and 12 table games, while Virgin had 214 slots, 8 Blackjack, 6 video poker and 12 table games.

It’s lonely at the bottom, especially when you haven’t added any new titles in 13 months, which is exactly what Harrah’s has done. In the #16 spot, they still have 98 slots, 1 Blackjack, 4 table games for a total of 103.
