ATLANTIC CITY — Sports betting may come to Atlantic City as early as this fall despite a federal ban, Gov. Chris Chris Christie announced today at a Boardwalk news conference in Atlantic City.

Christie said he planned to submit regulations this week and hoped patrons of the casinos in the resort city and the state’s four horse racing tracks could bet on professional and certain college sports games by October or November.

"We intend to go forward and allow sports betting to happen," Christie said. "If someone wants to stop us, then let them try to stop us."

Christie said he expected legal action from the federal government to try to stop the state from implementing sports wagering, but "I have every confidence we’re going to be successful."
