A gambler’s guide to Atlantic City gaming
Upon hearing the word casinos, most people think immediately of Las Vegas. There’s other locations, within and outside the US, but Vegas is considered the gambling world capital. Then there’s Atlantic City, Vegas’ younger brother. It’s a different type of town. They both have sand in common, but you won’t find slot machines outside of casinos in AC, whereas in Vegas you call pull the one-armed bandit in the grocery store, at the airport, and even in some churches!
Still, Atlantic City, NJ has a lot to offer, including it’s coastline. The casinos have a lot to offer as well. It used to be Trump’s town, where every other casino bore his moniker. Now Harrah’s owns a respectable bunch of casinos, including Caesar’s, Harrah’s, and The Showboat. Trump is still around as well, on the boardwalk and on the bay, and other casinos still compete, including Resorts, Borgata and Tropicana.
Each of these locations try to offer something unique to their customers and gamblers. The games are the same: slots, Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Poker, etc… but each tries to reward it’s customers in it’s own way. That’s the best way to decide which casino to go with. If you play slots, go to a casino that is heavy on slots rewards. Some casinos treat their Blackjack players like kings. Once you know the ins and outs, it’s easier to decide.
