New Jersey Governor Wants All Casino Workers Vaccinated


New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has issued a new order to prioritize COVID-19 vaccination for casino workers. This move comes as part of an effort to boost the gambling industry, which has been significantly impacted by the global pandemic.

Casinos in New Jersey were closed temporarily due to the global pandemic and reopened with significant restrictions. The gambling industry is a major contributor to the state's tax revenue, and Murphy's decision aims to create safer conditions for both workers and visitors.

There are approximately 25,000 casino workers in New Jersey, and local unions, the New Jersey Casino Association, and AtlantiCare have begun actively working on vaccinating all employees in this sector.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
