Ocean Casino Resort announced a $5 million revamped sports betting venue on Wednesday that will combine sports and traditional gambling in an upscale sports bar environment on the casino floor.

The Gallery Bar, Book & Games will be a 12,000-square-foot venue that's expected to debut this summer and will complete Ocean’s recent $25 million dollar casino floor transformation.

“Ocean is dedicated to being the premier gaming destination in the Atlantic City market,” said Bill Callahan, General Manager for Ocean Casino Resort. “This new venue will enhance the guest experience by providing an unbeatable atmosphere right in the heart of the casino floor.”

The Gallery will feature a 100-foot elevated bar and lounge with a mix of blackjack and roulette tables with 140 feet of LED walls that will line the venue.

Sports betting services for The Gallery will be provided in partnership with USBookmaking.
