UPDATE: Casino leaders see great promise, challenge in Atlantic City’s future

Touting the investments at casinos and throughout the city, a panel of gambling executives say the city’s future is promising.

But to achieve that promise, the resort’s leaders have to work together, take advantage of opportunities such as e-sports and sports betting, and make the resort a true destination, the panelists said.

The casino leaders spoke Wednesday as part of a Greater Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce’s panel on the industry.

The event, which started at 8:30 a.m. at the Sheraton Atlantic City Convention Center Hotel, featured Marcus Glover, president and chief operating officer of Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa; Matthew Harkness, president of Hard Rock Atlantic City; Mark Giannantonio, president and CEO of Resorts Casino Hotel; and Tony Rodio, president and CEO of Tropicana Entertainment Inc.
