Fanatics Sportsbook announced the opening of a retail sportsbook location in partnership with Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City. The sportsbook is located inside The Gallery – a 12,000 sq. ft. gaming and bar experience that serves as the centerpiece of the casino. The venue officially opened to the public on Thursday, September 5; just in time for the opening of the football season.
The Fanatics Sportsbook is a featured attraction in The Gallery, a 100-foot elevated bar and lounge area with seating for sixty surrounded by slot machines, tables, and 140 feet of LED walls for the ultimate sports viewing experience. Sports fans can place wagers at betting windows or self-service betting terminals throughout the venue and traverse a 17-foot open-air staircase that leads to Balcony Bar, a mezzanine bar and lounge.
“The new Fanatics Sportsbook will cater to guests looking to enjoy the ultimate VIP sportsbook experience, offering legal betting markets for all major sports including professional and college football, basketball, hockey, baseball, tennis, soccer, golf, MMA, boxing, and more. All development and trading of sports betting markets will be done in-house,” according to a press release.
Ari Borod, Chief Business Officer, Fanatics Betting and Gaming, said: “It’s an exciting day in our company’s continuous evolution as we announce the opening of Fanatics Sportsbook at Ocean CasinoResort.”
“As Fanatics grows its gaming presence in New Jersey, Ocean represents the perfect partner to deliver an elevated retail sports betting experience at the premier hotel in Atlantic City,” he added.
For his part, Bill Callahan, General Manager for Ocean CasinoResort, commented: “Fanatics boasts an unmatched roster of the world’s most renown sports leagues, teams, and global brands and we are excited to present these to our guests here at Ocean.”
The Fanatics Sportsbook is the latest addition to Ocean Casino Resort’s lineup of entertainment offerings at the 20-acre resort that has become the center of Atlantic City nightlife. HQ2 Nightclub provides guests with a nightlife experience filled with musical talent.
Regarded as the “premier nightlife” destination in Atlantic City, HQ2 is open Thursday through Sunday, offering multiple dance floors, private table seating, and three bars. Ocean Casino Resort also has a 4,500-seat concert venue, Ovation Hall, that plays host to some of the hottest acts on tour.
