At present, there are nine casinos operating in Atlantic City. Each of these casinos has an online version apart from Bally’s – while those guys operate other online casinos in NJ, they don’t yet have their own branded online casino. All the other AC casinos have their own branded online casinos and generally also take care of the operation of a few more brands.

Closed and repurposed Atlantic City casinos

Not all Atlantic City casinos have been a success and plenty have closed their doors, or even been declared bankrupt.

1. The Showboat — This property opened back in 1987 as a casino, hotel and bowling center. Around 10 years later in ‘98, the establishment became part of Caesars Entertainment. Unfortunately it shut down in 2014. The property was then reopened two years later but as a non-gaming hotel. Instead, the casino hall is now being tuned into NJ’s largest arcade called The Lucky Snake.
   
   
2. The Atlantic Club Casino Hotel — Closed in January 2014 after 34 years in operation. First opened in 1980, it was Golden Nugget’s first casino. After seven years it was sold to Bally Manufacturing and renamed to Bally’s Grand Hotel and Casino. Over the years it continued changing owners and names due to various financial troubles. In 2019, the property was sold to Colosseo Atlantic City Inc. but there are no plans yet as to what will happen to it in the future.
   
   
3. Trump Plaza — First opened in 1984, it was jointly owned by Donald Trump and Harrah’s. After Trump opened Trump Castle a conflict of interest was declared by his business partner prompting Trump to buy Harrah’s shares. After 30 years in operation, the business was declared bankrupt and closed in 2004. The main hotel tower was brought down in 2021 but to date there’s been no word of what will happen in the future.

AC online casinos — latest updates

Let’s have a look at some of the up and coming news surrounding Atlantic City casinos. Here we discuss any looming developments to the AC gambling industry both offline and online.

• Smoking ban — An indoor smoking ban at casinos is being floated around. Having said that, there seems to be such great opposition to this smoking ban that talks have been shut down. The ban is being pushed for by casino employees who say that second hand smoking is detrimental to their health. Casinos are the only current exception to NJ’s clean air law which bans smoking from all indoor places. The vote on this ban still needs to be scheduled with stakeholders dragging their feet due to the adverse effect this may have on casino revenues.
• Esports — Atlantic City gambling sites might soon be adding another cluster to their offering. eSports is only growing bigger and it’s yet to be properly launched as a gambling option. In both New Jersey and Nevada, regulators are looking into creating gambling laws that govern eSports so it’s done fault-free and with integrity. eSports development is definitely on the cards for AC online casinos.
