ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey gambling regulators gave approval Thursday to a Rhode Island company to operate Bally’s casino and quickly invest in renovations and repairs to Atlantic City’s poorest-performing gambling hall. The New Jersey Casino Control Commission allowed Twin River Worldwide Holdings to operate Bally’s once the sale closes in about two weeks.
Twin River is a small casino compared to Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods. It is also an older casino. We were here on a busy Saturday Night, I am not sure why. We had a hard time finding a parking space near any of the entrances. The valet had a long line and it was not moving. The casino floor, restrooms, common areas and restaurants are kept clean. We come to Twin River often, mostly because we enjoy gambling and Twin River is close to our house. The pluses: -Good variety of machines, including many you can't find elsewhere.Decent sit-down restaurants -Lots of gift giveaways and free slot play The minuses: -The place is kind of dirty, partly the fault of the patrons and partly the fact.
- Before the pandemic, Twin River saw about 15,000 daily visitors. Today, it is operating at about 40% capacity. All casino visitors must wear masks and enter through the valet entrance, where they.
- Twin River, based in Lincoln, RI, owns gambling properties across six states, as well as a horse racetrack with 13 authorized off-track betting licenses in Colorado. As The Post has previously reported, Twin River has been on a pandemic buying spree under Kim, agreeing to acquire three properties alone in April even as the pandemic shuttered.
- 3.4 Twin River Social Casino and its designees reserve the right to carry out local research and to check with local authorities if you fail to produce evidence of your identity within 30 days of a request by Twin River and in the event you fail to produce evidence of your identity we reserve the right to close your Account and cancel or expire.
“I am pleased to hear that Twin River is committed to Bally’s success and is committed to making the necessary financial commitments toward that goal,” said James Plousis, the commission’s chairman.
“This once-grand property will be restored, renovated and upgraded to become an integral and competitive part of the gaming industry in Atlantic City,” Commissioner Alisa Cooper added.
The state Division of Gaming Enforcement said at least $75 million of the $90 million Twin River plans to invest in renovations and repairs should be spent within three years.
Deputy Attorney General Camila Mendes-Ferreira said during Thursday’s hearing the accelerated investment is needed to quickly improve conditions at Bally’s and keep it competitive in the Atlantic City market as the sort of “first-class facility” required by state law.
The company has said it intends to renovate hotel rooms, upgrade restaurants, entertainment offerings and its pool and spa, and replace or repair critical infrastructure in the 41-year-old facility.
Bally’s was the third casino to open in Atlantic City, debuting in 1979, and once led the city’s gambling market.
But it has fallen on hard times of late; it currently ranks last among Atlantic City’s nine casinos in terms of revenue won from gamblers.
For the first nine months of this year, Bally’s has won nearly $72 million; in contrast, the city’s top casino, the Borgata, won $373 million over that same period.
