Ocean Casino Resort Plans $14 Million Expansion of The Cove High-Limit Slot Lounge
The Atlantic City resort will grow the lounge from about 140 to 192 machines, with an early 2027 opening.
Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City is investing $14 million to enlarge and redesign The Cove, its high-limit slot lounge reserved for rewards members. The new space will hold 192 machines, up from roughly 140, and is expected to open in early 2027, sitting next to the Asian table games area with a floor about 60% larger.
The lineup will include slots, linked games, progressives and video poker from suppliers such as Aristocrat, Light & Wonder and IGT, along with cocktail service, seating areas and a design inspired by the Atlantic Ocean. Ocean says the project responds to demand for high-end slot play and fits a wider plan to add slot capacity.
The resort is performing well: it won $329.9 million in gross gaming revenue through August, up 5.4% year on year, third among Atlantic City casinos behind Borgata ($556.7 million) and Hard Rock ($376.4 million) and one of only three to post growth.
