Getting back to and exceeding pre-COVID levels in their core business - winning money from in-person gamblers - remains the top goal of Atlantic City’s casinos. “Our customers will see a difference and hopefully that will lead to more visitation.” “That’s going to add a new level of confidence,” Giannantonio said. “In 2022 we were buffeted by a difficult economy and very high inflation, and we’re beginning to see that come down,” he said, adding that local initiatives on improving safety and cleanliness are cause for optimism. Resorts casino president Mark Giannantonio said he is “fairly optimistic” about the coming year. “Our industry has survived that, and with that kind of momentum growing, it could be a good year for the residents of the city and for the casinos.” “I’m looking forward to the new year we’re past COVID now,” said Bob McDevitt, president of Local 54 of the Unite Here union, the city’s main casino workers union. There are also big questions looming over the city that could be answered in the new year, including deciding between dueling proposals for developing the former Bader Field airport property, and whether the state Legislature will act on a bill that would end smoking in Atlantic City casinos.
