“January 2021 was the first full month of operation for The Cove, attracting new customers to Ocean interested in an exclusive high limit slot experience,” said Terry Glebocki, Ocean’s CEO. The Ocean casino was up 31.7% to $26 million. “The casinos are well-positioned to welcome back more visitors as the situation hopefully continues to improve and the spring season approaches.” “While public health remains a concern, Atlantic City has worked hard to provide a safe environment,” he said. Jim Plousis, chair of the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, said one big reason in-person casino revenue was down from a year earlier is that it is being compared with January 2020, when coronavirus restrictions had not yet been imposed.
