ATLANTIC CITY, NJ
A previously untapped area here may soon open up to gaming and related hospitality offerings. The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement has approved a temporary test of casino gaming in the Quarter at Tropicana Casino & Resort.
Tropicana expects to start gaming in the Quarter next month, making it coincide with the Trop’s 30th anniversary. This announcement represents the first time in Atlantic City history that gaming has been approved on the city side of Pacific Avenue. Their approval will allow Tropicana to redefine Atlantic City excitement once again,” says Tony Rodio, the company’s president and CEO. “We are proud to be first in offering gaming on the city side of Pacific Avenue, along with all of the dining, shopping and nightlife options offered in the Quarter.”
Tropicana will launch gaming by the Fiesta Plaza, located in the Quarter, with eleven slot machines. Should electronic tables games get approved by the DGE Tropicana would seek to add such games to that location as well. Once the DGE has had an opportunity to review and fully approve Tropicana’s gaming operations in the Quarter, Tropicana expects to seek regulatory approval to expand its gaming operation further by adding additional slots, electronic table games and live table games throughout the Quarter.
The Quarter is a 200,000 square foot entertainment complex.
