Governor Chris Christie
Love him or hate him, there’s no question that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is about the best friend the regulated online gambling industry has in the United States these days.
Christie knows that online gambling is the key to Atlantic City’s survival and he’s not shy about letting people know that. But he’s going one step further by attempting to turn the Garden State into the, Silicon Valley of Internet Gambling.
Oh, and don’t forget his effort to overturn the US sports betting ban once and for all. New Jersey is taking that fight all the way to the Supreme Court and, given his track record, we like their chances.
