The NJ Senate OK’d a bill on June 25 that will hopefully attract smaller, boutique-style casinos to the Atlantic City Boardwalk.
Back when casino gambling got started in 1978, there was a requirement that casinos needed at least 500 rooms, and developers had to build new. These smaller, boutique casinos can now have as little as 200 rooms and can occupy older construction.
