Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 12:00 am

The gambling industry is abuzz with rumors that Sands Casinos plans to complete the construction of their shopping mall and events center that they planned to erect before the recession and pessimistic economic outlook took over. While there is no clear confirmation from the company, it seems very likely that the encouraging earnings from the casino and the upward-looking forecast of the business community has made the company hopeful of retailers being interested in renting space in the malls. The mall (80% complete) is much closer to completion than the events center (20% complete).

Just recently Sands’ Bethlehem casino reported earnings of $6.83 m in December 2010 – a jump of 64% from the previous month. This is the highest a casino has earned in the recent past. The table games – poker, craps and roulette certainly earned the casino a giant’s share of the profits.

Atlantic City’s Casino Woes To Continue

Reports suggest that Atlantic City will continue to show declining growth in 2011 even as nearby States such as New York and Pennsylvania are likely to post positive growth trends. This has been attributed to the lack of plans to launch new casino ventures in this New Jersey city. Atlantic City has been losing business ever since the beginning of the recession. It has lost 13% of its revenues in the last one year. Competition from neighboring states has definitely been a leading factor. In the meanwhile, Atlantic City’s casino operators are trying to perk up interest by offering other modes of entertainment from spas and golf courses to restaurants and shopping complexes.
