The owner of Atlantic City’s Ocean Resort Casinos promised to “surprise the world” when the former Revel casino reopens next week. And the surprises began Wednesday when the casino’s executives unveiled some optimistic financial projections that would see it do better than established casinos including Tropicana, Harrah’s and Caesars, at levels Revel could only have dreamed.
Bruce Deifik said Wednesday his team has fixed what customers didn’t like about Revel, and is ready to show it off. All he needs now is a casino license. In testimony before the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, Deifik said he has $40 million in cash on hand to operate the business, and is ready to go.
