Sportsbook at Atlantic City’s Ocean Resort right in heart of casino

The whirl of buzz saws and the thump, thump, thump of hammers was in full force on Tuesday as the Ocean Resort continued to put together what it pledges will be the sharpest sportsbook in Atlantic City. If nothing else, you can’t beat its location.

In two weeks, the sounds of construction tools will be replaced, casino executives hope, by the roars and groans of customers who have action on the World Cup quadrupleheader, a baseball game, or whatever else is going on. Who you like in that L.A.-Seattle WNBA game? “This is the heart of our casino,” said Seth Schorr, a Penn grad who is the resort adviser for the Ocean Resort.
