Atlantic City’s Ocean Resort Casino ready to offer sports betting on opening day

Ocean Resort Casino, which will officially join the Atlantic City boardwalk in the old Revel Casino building when it opens June 28, is already preparing to offer sports gambling with a high-profile partnership.

Just as the Borgata announced earlier this month that it plans to offer sports gambling as soon as state regulators make it legal in New Jersey, Ocean Resort Casino is similarly minded. Pending legislation, the operators of the new casino say it also will offer sports betting on its opening date. Ocean Resort announced it partnered with sports book operator William Hill, the largest legal sports book operator in Nevada, to oversee a 7,500-sq. ft. betting facility on the gambling floor of the casino.

The area will include a center bar surrounded by a video wall for viewing both sports events and live InPlay betting odds.
