Atlantic City Faces Challenges and Opportunities in 2024

Potential Smoking Ban, Shift Towards Internet Gambling, and Major Redevelopment Project Among Key Issues

Atlantic City faces several challenges in 2024, including the potential ban of smoking in its nine casinos.
The city's physical casinos are closely watching whether gamblers continue to embrace internet gambling and sports betting over in-person gambling.
Only three casinos won more from in-person gamblers in the first 11 months of 2023 than they did in the same period in 2019, before the pandemic.
Atlantic City is due for a government-funded beach replenishment project in 2024 to widen eroded beaches.
2024 could see decisions made on a proposal to redevelop the former Bader Field airport property into a $2.7 billion automobile-themed housing, entertainment, and recreation project.
