Atlantic City casinos are preparing to capitalize on Super Bowl 59 with a variety of special events and promotions. As the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday (February 9), casinos in the popular New Jersey resort city are offering enticing packages to attract football fans.
Casinos like Bally's, Harrah's, Tropicana, and Caesars are hosting viewing parties with options ranging from recliner seating to open bars and buffets. For example, Bally's is holding a "Big Game Viewing Party" at The Yard, featuring big screens and a buffet of pizza and wings. Harrah's is hosting the "Super Bowl Splash" at The Pool, complete with a tailgate party, games, and jersey giveaways. According to the Courier-Post, these events are designed to create a vibrant atmosphere for fans.
The American Gaming Association (AGA) predicts that nearly $1.39 billion will be wagered legally on the Super Bowl this year. This marks a significant increase in legal sports betting since the Supreme Court's 2018 decision to allow states to legalize sports betting. As reported by NJ.com, the AGA highlights the positive impact of legal sports betting, from consumer protection to tax revenue generation.
Ocean Casino Resort and other Atlantic City venues are also offering a range of food and drink specials, raffles, and even a slots tournament to enhance the game-day experience. PlayNJ.com notes that these promotions aim to draw in crowds, especially with the Philadelphia Eagles playing in the Super Bowl.
As the big game approaches, Atlantic City's casinos are poised to offer fans an exciting and engaging Super Bowl experience, while the legal sports betting industry looks to break records.
