Gaming & Licensing

Cooper Levenson has had a comprehensive active gaming law practice since the commencement of casino gaming in New Jersey in 1978. The firm has represented Atlantic City casinos in all regulatory and licensing matters from pre-construction to opening, and has handled mergers and acquisitions, including deal structuring, for casinos nationally.

The firm’s practice has expanded with the addition of new types of gaming and legalization of gaming across the United States. As gaming has expanded nationally, and new forms of gaming have been introduced, the firm’s geographic presence and breadth of practice has similarly expanded. In addition to decades of experience in licensing, compliance, contractual and operational matters regarding land-based casinos and gaming equipment suppliers, the attorneys in the Gaming Practice Group are also at the forefront of the newest developments in legal matters related to internet gaming, sports wagering, esports wagering, skill gaming, sweepstakes and social casinos. The firm’s clients are based all around the globe and operate in jurisdictions nationally and internationally. Cooper Levenson attorneys not only assist clients in the licensing and going-live process; they also help clients navigate new legislative and other developments in gaming states, and in those states considering legalized gaming, while remaining compliant.
