Ocean Casino set to merge sports betting, gambling and bar in new $5M venue to open this summer

Atlantic City's Ocean Casino Resort on Monday announced The Gallery Bar, Book & Games, a 12,000-square-foot venue set to debut this summer completing Ocean’s recent $25 million dollar casino floor transformation.

Sports betting services for The Gallery will be provided in partnership with USBookmaking, a subsidiary of Elys Game Technology.

“Ocean is dedicated to being the premier gaming destination in the Atlantic City market,” said Bill Callahan, General Manager for Ocean Casino Resort. “This new venue will enhance the guest experience by providing an unbeatable atmosphere right in the heart of the casino floor.”

The Gallery will feature a 100-foot elevated bar and lounge, including 59 seats and 12 slot machines. A mix of blackjack and roulette tables will surround the perimeter of the bar, while 140 feet of LED walls will line the venue. A 17-foot open-air staircase will connect to Balcony Bar, a mezzanine bar and lounge where guests will enjoy the ultimate VIP sportsbook experience.

“Through customizable lighting and a unique blend of rich textures and luxurious finishes, The Gallery will set the stage for social gaming, big game nights, and an unforgettable after-hours experience,” the company stated in a press release.

Ocean recently announced over $75 million in resort investment, featuring the highly anticipated addition of more than 460 guest rooms and suites. Ocean recently completed over $15 million in property improvements, featuring a redesigned casino floor and the addition of three new high-limit venues. In February, the casino promoted Bill Callahan, previously Interim Chief Executive Officer, to General Manager.
