Atlantic City Casino Officially Launches Online Operation (Update)

Ocean Resort Casino announces OceanOnlineCasino.com is now live

On Thursday, Atlantic City land casino operator Ocean Resort formally announced the official launch of the new OceanOnlineCasino.com, a “…convenient way for players to enjoy their favourite casino games, while also earning Ocean Premier points that can be redeemed toward benefits at Ocean Resort Casino.”

CEO Frank Leone said in a press release:

“We are excited to launch the new OceanOnlineCasino.com, which will provide our players a unique and immersive online gaming experience, while also offering additional benefits and incentives to an already robust Ocean Premier loyalty program.

“Our goal is to continue enhancing our guest experience, whether on property or online, as we strive to stay ahead of the curve in the constantly evolving gaming space here in New Jersey.”

Ocean Online Casino launched in partnership with GAN, an online gaming content and internet gambling software provider. The online casino offers flexibility for play through a wide range of games and themes, and enables guests enrolled in the Ocean Premier loyalty program to use and earn rewards from both on-property gaming or online Internet gaming.

“OceanOnlineCasino.com represents the best of both worlds, where traditional brick and mortar gaming converges with online gaming to deliver a seamless experience for Ocean Resort Casino patrons,” said GAN CEO Dermot Smurfit.

“Our partnership philosophy has enabled Ocean Resort Casino’s leadership, working closely with GAN, to deliver a unique product experience encompassing innovation in mobile-first design, exclusive slot games and exciting real-time competition leaderboards.”

During the first phase of the OceanOnlineCasino.com, players will be able to enjoy a wide range of special promotions. Additionally, OceanOnlineCasino.com will feature a customer service centre that will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, via chat, phone and e-mail.
