September was a weird month for NJ online casinos. We have a couple of newer casinos that went big and added a whole lotta casino games online; then there are several casinos who actually dropped a significant number of titles but still managed to add some; there are those who just maintained—no additions, no subtractions; and finally, a few who managed to not lose any and move up in the ranks.

So let’s take a look at what transpired in the last month and what you have to look forward to in new games available.

Newbies

Bet365 is one of the newest online casinos in New Jersey and they’re trying to move up the ladder in size with a huge influx of games. I’m showing 40 new casino games online hit the site in the last month, including 6 table games, 3 Blackjack variations, and 1 video poker option. Among their latest slot titles are:

• Archangel’s Salvation
• Asgardian Stones
• Blood Suckers and Blood Suckers II
• Bollywood Story
• Coins of Egypt
• Dazzle Me
• Drive: Multiplier Mayhem
• Elements: The Awakening
• Planet of the Apes
• Secrets of Atlantis
• Warlords: Crystals of Power
• Wild Wild West

BetAmerica is another recent addition to the NJ casino scene. They added 19 new titles in August and another 5 in September, placing them squarely in the center of the pack in terms of size of their gaming library. They have 332 slots (including high limit), 5 Blackjack variations, 11 table games, 9 video poker options, plus a variety of Live Dealer games. They have a brand new blackjack variation, as well as 3 new slot titles:

• Narcos
• It’s Magic
• Mercy of the Gods

DraftKings is our big winner this month with the addition of 54 new games, including 1 Live Dealer option and 53 slots. The games feature a mix of older standards:

• Excalibur
• Gonzo’s Quest
• Icy Wilds
• Jack and the Beanstalk
• Pixies of the Forest

…as well as newer titles:

• Crown of Egypt
• Football Champions Cup
• Golden Grimoire
• King of Macedonia
• Light’s Touch

While this site is still small (87 titles), it’s looking like it may grow in leaps and bounds if this month is any indication.

Casino Games Online – Additions / Subtractions

Betfair’s gaming library only had a net +1 in the last month, however, they added 9 games, meaning that 8 titles are no longer available on the site. They’re showing 364 slots, 8 Blackjack variations, 9 video poker options, and 15 table games, with the newest being Casino Hold’em.

Their slot additions include a mix of old and new, with Dead or Alive 2, Da Vinci Diamonds Masterworks, Mad Scatter’s Tea Party, Mercy of the Gods, Narcos, Slingo Cascade, Spinsane and Wild Fury Jackpots now available on the site.

Wild Fury Jackpots is a new game from IGT with 5 reels and 10 paylines. Bets range from 50 cents to $20, with the maximum payout set at $285,000. The game features Stacked Wilds in both the base and bonus game, and they become more plentiful during the latter. The Free Spins Bonus round has a +1 Spin symbol, awarding you an extra spin each time you get one. This can earn you up to 100 extra free spins. There’s also a treat at the end of the bonus round: Collect Wild symbols during bonus play and you will get one of 5 bonuses, which can increase in value based on Jackpot Level Up symbols that occur during play:

• 1-20 Wilds: Jackpot 1
• 20-39 Wilds: Jackpot 2
• 40-64 Wilds: Jackpot 3
• 65-99 Wilds: Jackpot 4
• 100+ Wilds: Jackpot 5

While it can be difficult to get the bonus when you do it can more than makeup for its infrequency.

Borgata is another one that dropped down in overall game count but added a significant number of games. Their gaming library went from 423 to 406, but there are 14 additions, some old and some new. It’s not surprising to have older slot titles replaced, but it’s notable that they dropped 6 video poker games and 4 table games. New to the site are 1 Blackjack option (Blackjack Multi-Hand) and the following slots:

• 100000 Pyramid
• Black Knight 2
• Cirque de Soleil Kooza
• Da Vinci Diamonds Dual Play
• Dragon Gems
• Goldfish
• Hercules High and Mighty
• Narcos
• Pigasus & Friends
• Secret of Atlantis
• Slingo Fortunes
• Wheel of Fortune Triple Extreme Spin
• Sea of Tranquility

Hard Rock’s online casino shows a net loss of 6, but given that they added 6 new titles, that means that 12 older ones are no longer available. They went big in August with 108 new titles, but have definitely slowed their roll. That being said, they do have a great selection of games including 6 newbies:

• 7s Wild
• Dead or Alive 2
• It’s Magic
• Mercy of the Gods
• Narcos
• Slingo Cascade

That last game is the latest in a long line of Slingo (slots meets Bingo) games that have become very popular. This one has a standard 5×5 Bingo grid where you need to match numbers. Each bet gives you 9 pulls of 5 numbers each. When you get a Slingo (5 in a row, just like Bingo), all 5 will explode and new numbers cascade down. If at the end of your 9 spins you’re close to another match or two (and a higher price), the game offers you additional spins…for a price.

Over at PlayMGM, their gaming library went from 437 to 412; however, they did add 1 Blackjack variation and 13 slots. They’re a little light on Blackjack and table games (5 each), but they do offer 392 slot options, including these recent additions:

• 100000 Pyramid
• Black Knight 2
• Cirque de Soleil Kooza
• Da Vinci Diamonds Dual Play
• Dragons Gems
• Fairytale Legends Hansel & Gretel
• Goldfish
• Hercules High and Mighty
• Pigasus & Friends
• Sea of Tranquility
• Secrets of Atlantis
• Slingo Fortunes
• Wheel of Fortune Triple Extreme Spin

Mohegan Sun took a big loss last month and come into October with 527, which is 51 fewer games. They actually purged about 70 titles, as there were about 20 additions, including a few older slots and two card games (DJ Wild Stud Poker and Casino Hold’em). Among the brand new titles to the site are:

• Beer Barrel Bash
• Bourbon Street Bash
• Dead or Alive 2
• Double Dinosaur Deluxe
• It’s Magic
• Jin Ji Bao Xi
• Midnight Eclipse
• Narcos
• Sailing the 7 Skies
• Slingo Cascade

You gain a few, you lose a few, which is what’s happened at Ocean, with a net loss of 5. Still small, their gaming library consists of 259 titles, including 238 slots, 4 Blackjack variations, 7 video poker options, and 10 table games. The latest additions are Dead or Alive 2, Narcos, Slingo Cascade and Slingo Monopoly.

Pala’s online casino added 13 slot titles, most of them older, and did a very small purge, ending September with 333 total games. They have:

• 312 slots
• 4 Blackjack variations
• 9 video poker options
• 8 table games

Older titles added to the site are Dancing Drums, Raging Rhino, Triple Cash Wheel, with newer titles including Quick Hit Super Wheel Wild Red, Slingo Monopoly, and Slingo Wild Adventure.

Resorts online casino is in the same boat as sister site Mohegan Sun. They went from 581 titles to 524, with the addition of 3 table games (Casino Hold’em, DJ Wild Stud Poker and Blackjack MultiHand), along with 16 slots.

SugarHouse remained at 581 games in total but added 12 new titles, so a small purge was going on here as well. They now have 549 slots, 7 Blackjack variations, 14 video poker options, and 11 table games, moving them into the #2 position overall. (Last month they tied for 3rd position.)

Steady As She Goes

Caesars continues to add games to their gaming library and currently sit in the #4 position among NJ online casinos that we track. With 502 slots, 5 Blackjack variations, 14 video poker options, and 12 table games, they have 533 titles. Of note, this month is Beer Barrel Bash, which arrived just in time for Oktoberfest. This game features cold frosty mugs of beet, salty pretzels and sausages that will make you hungry just playing. You’ll find Locked Wilds, Symbol Upgrades and a Free Games Bonus (where those Locking Wilds really come in handy). Also new on the site are:

• Adorned Peacock
• Beer Barrel Bash
• Dead or Alive 2
• Jin Ji Bao Xi: Endless Treasure
• Mercy of the Gods
• Narcos
• Slingo Cascade
• Turn Your Fortune
• Wild Catcher

The number 1 online casino, Golden Nugget, is pulling away from the pack with 50 more games than it’s the nearest competitor. It’s gaming library holds:

• 584 slots
• 9 Blackjack variations
• 18 video poker options
