The 5,000-square-foot interactive space offers an immersive sports betting experience with nearly 200 linear feet and 1,654 square feet of video display to show up to 16 games at one time. The space also features eight betting windows, including one high-limit window, and 180 seats, including bar and lounge style seating. Elevated VIP seating is also offered.

Tropicana is one of seven casinos in Atlantic City that offers sports betting.

“Sports betting has been an incredible addition to Tropicana,” Callender said. “Guests are not only coming to experience the sports book. They are also staying in the hotel, dining at our restaurants and enjoying all our non-gaming amenities. We expect to see these positive effects continue with the addition of our permanent location.”
