\"Bergen_County_Seal\"New Jersey lawmakers are to consider on Thursday 12th<\/sup> December whether Bergen County should be allowed to open a casino, the first of its kind outside of Atlantic City.<\/p>\n

The Assembly Regulatory Oversight and Gaming Committee will discuss and explore bill AJR11 on the prospects for gaming in Bergen County. The committee will evaluate the impact of recently enacted casino gaming legislation and research whether gaming should expand beyond Atlantic City for the first time in the state\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
