ATLANTIC CITY CASINOS SEE SLUMP
WBGO News via RSS

(WBGO News 7/11/2008)

While some might not call it a slump, there have been definite downward trends for Atlantic City casinos this summer. Joe Weinert is the Senior Vice President of the casino consulting firm, Spectrum Gaming Group, and he says fewer gamblers are willing to risk filling up their tanks for slot machines and games of chance. Weinert says some casinos are adding more rooms or resort amenities like spas and shows to attract visitors in the future – but he says there's little they can do to fix the problem in the interim. Weinert says gamblers in the metropolitan area would rather spend their money closer to home at other casinos where they have less strict smoking rules and electric game tables
