    Review: Ocean Resort Hotel & Sportsbook Atlantic City
    Just back after a few days down in AC & wanted to share my experiences with both the hotel & sportsbook. With regard to the resort: just top notch. Rooms are amazing. Most have ocean views with floor to ceiling windows. 6 pools at the hotel and lots of bars & restaurants to pick from. With only being open a week you’d expect some hiccups with regard to service. All in all would highly recommend over both The Hard Rock & Borgota (unless you can get into The Water Club).

    Now the sportsbook.....I’d say if you can, wait a few more weeks to go. Still very small (only 3 windows open at any given time & very unorganized). 15-20 minute wait to place wager. When these pictures were taken on Friday all odds were a bit worse then 5Dimes (bet Phillies -114 Detroit-110 Yankees -148). Still lots of construction going on there so when finished it will be great. Bigger bar area. More TVs & seating areas. Also some VIP areas are going up top. Spoke briefly with the SB Manager & the plan is to have online wagers up & running in a month. Heading back down 1st week in aug so excited to see the progress.

            terrible

            William Hill is a terrible product

            Meadowlands will be best one BY FAR

            I WILL BET -105 offshore

            THANK YOU

              I guess Monmouth Park is better at the moment from a book standpoint

                  I was at the ocean resorts book today and the borgata book last night. They’re just temporary for now. Everything should be up and running by football season.

                                      Awesome job Philly. Will have to check it out. Nice to know East Coast bettors finally have a solid Plan B to Vegas when time is a consideration.

                                                  So is White House in the Ocean or Hard Rock?

                                                  I see dime lines available on baseball. Nice!

                                                  I’ll be there in 13 days. Can’t wait to check out the new casinos.

                                                                Much appreciated.

                                                                I want to understand one thing you
                                                                mentioned above.. correct me if I’m wrong.

                                                                You have a winning ticket that you paid
                                                                cash for at a window at the casino..

                                                                You then took that winning ticket to
                                                                one of the 3 windows currently taking bets
                                                                and they would not cash the ticket unless
                                                                you gave them more info on who you are

                                                                was the ticket worth over 10k?
                                                                is this policy for all winning tickets?

                                                                How can that policy work it will create
                                                                huge waiting times at the windows.

                                                                Verifying a win should be taking the ticket
                                                                you got from a teller at a window going
                                                                back to the teller after the game is official
                                                                the teller scanning the ticket to make sure
                                                                its legit then you get paid..no?
