Most casinos in Atlantic City have had nothing positive to report for the past two years. The narrative appears to be changing gradually as most of them open their doors to business after the pandemic. Following the revelation that many had set aside money to upgrade their premises, the success stories had been something that stakeholders were anticipating.
It was obvious from the statement made by the General Manager of Ocean Casino Resort, Bill Callahan, that the betting brand is excited at recent advancements. The betting house now boasts of a gallery bar, book and games. All this have been designed within a 12,000-square-foot venue that will begin operations in summer. Many Ocean’s fans will remember that the provider had announced a grand transformation in 2021 in an effort to win back walk-in bettors.
Summer is setting in with a ray of hope for successful business in gambling. It is a season of joy and fun activities characterize the calendar of most people in the United States. Many people will be on summer break so it is not a coincident that the management of Oceans Casino thought of it as a good time to walk into a bright future for the industry.
According to Callahan, Ocean is committed to taking over the New Jersey betting scene as a choice gaming destination. With a renovation budget of $25 million, the right upgrades could turn it into a premier gambling destination for the people of NJ and beyond. The management is confident that the state-of-the-art venue will go a long way in enhancing the experience of those who visit the casino to get entertained.
The casino floor has everything that a casino guest would need when they get into a gaming environment. With this venue up and running, the casino administration can tailor the atmosphere according to the needs of their clients. The modern inbuilt casino venue is going to offer many casino fans with an opportunity to experience multiple gaming facilities within the same floor space.
What we cover
Experiencing the gallery floor
The gallery bar has been designed to offer both comfort and convenience for casino guests looking for an invaluable experience. Featuring a 100 elevation on top of which the lounge and bar sit, it is nothing like the casino world has offered before. Within the gallery area are 59 seats and 12 slot machines, a perfect balance between offering comfort and presenting opportunities for spending money. This area will mesmerize slot lovers not only for the wide database of titles but also for the well deserved relaxation sessions in between.
Around the perimeter of the bar is a mix of roulette and blackjack tables to offer a dynamic choice range for casino players with an affinity for table games. With this area offering the traditional casino offerings in a fun and exciting manner, many players will have a hard time leaving. Everyone who climbs up to this elevated floor will be entering a space that will be confined within a wall of LED measuring 140 feet.
Guests wishing to move to the balcony bar from the gallery can do so through a 17-foot open-air staircase. The balcony bar is a mezzanine bar with a lounge that guests can go to for the ultimate VIP sportsbook experience. By frequently or conveniently altering the customizable light settings, the gallery is going to be a robust backdrop of many events. With a unique blend of luxurious finishes and textures, big game nights and all manner of social gaming events will leave an unforgettable mark.
Apart from typical casino offerings that have been designed and developed by the casino, there will also be online sports betting services made available for those on the gallery. This experience will be made possible following a partnership with a subsidiary of Elys Game Technology, Corp, US Bookmaking.
The gambling industry is now aware of where 33% of the casino’s investment for the future managed to achieve. The recent announcement by Ocean’s management that the total budget would be $75 million is now starting to make sense to stakeholders. With the rest of the funds, the management still needs to fulfill their pledge of building an additional 460 hotel suites and guest rooms.
