Borgata Atlantic City to Unveil New Sportsbook

Atlantic City’s Borgata casino announced it will invest $12 million into a new sports betting and entertainment project. The facility will include a sports bar and is scheduled to open June 29.

The Borgata casino in Atlantic City will open a $12 million sportsbook and bar titled the Moneyline Bar & Book on June 29.

The facility will also include a bar and lounge named Level One that will be connected to the sports bar.

“We knew we wanted to provide our guests with an experience that was more than a transactional venue for sports wagering,” Marcus Glover, Borgata’s president and chief operating officer said in a press release. “We felt Borgata’s guests deserved something that would advance the market by bringing together sports, culinary, entertainment, gaming, and nightlife into a destination experience.

The Borgata has been using its race book space for sports betting since opening its live sportsbook last June. Officials said the race book will continue to accept sports wagers even after the new facility opens.

The project will include six sports betting windows as well as self-service betting kiosks. It will also include 19 slot machines built into the bar and four blackjack tables at the cocktail lounge. The new, 8,000-square-foot facility will also include a 40-foot-wide by 11.5-foot-tall LED video wall and 17 additional 98-inch and 86-inch displays.

Borgata was the first casino to offer legalized sports betting in New Jersey. It joins eight other Atlantic City casinos that have state-of-the-art sports betting options.
