大西洋赌场计划扩大二十一点游戏的覆盖范围

　　康纳于本季度曾提到，几个星期前他们计划大西洋城的赌场购物中心增加博彩游戏机。该计划目前已经进入尾声，并于上周进入测试阶段。

　　整个计划中不仅在大西洋赌城内增加了老虎机的数量，而且也增加了二十一点游戏机的数量。以前在购物区是没有博彩游戏机的，如今基本被博彩游戏覆盖。

　　位于喷泉以及红场前面的二十一点游戏机提供高达500万美元低至10美元的下注选项。

　　康纳总裁兼首席执行官托尼RODIO说：“这将是一个旅游的圣地，在那里你可以用餐，可以购物，可以赌博。购物区人流量很大，以前我们没有发挥购物区的地段优势，从游戏的角度来看，我们在以前错失了一个良好的机会。喷泉右侧的餐厅是人流主要聚集地，而我们认为它将是最好的安置博彩游戏机的地段。

　　如果该扩大计划测试成功，那么二十一点游戏将可以扩大到位于广场附近的星巴克咖啡店。

　　Blackjack games added to The Quarter at Tropicana The Tropicana Casino and Resort in Atlantic City had mentioned a few weeks ago they were planning on adding gaming machines to The Quarter a shopping center located at the casino. The plan has now been put in place and gaming machines were added last week for a testing phase.

　　The games include blackjack options and throughout the week, gamblers have been able to test out the games. Slot games have also been added as well. At first, those who walked by said the games had no place in the shopping area.

　　The blackjack machines, which offer $5 and $10 wagering options, are located in front of the fountain as well as the Cuba Libre and Red Square. Penny slots have also been added on the wall and near the staircase of the Quarter.

　　Tony Rodio the CEO and president of Tropicana commented: “it will be the only place this side of Nevada, literally, where you can eat, dine, shop and gamble. We did it in The Quarter because we get large crowds of people coming through here, and to not take advantage of that from a gaming standpoint was a missed opportunity. （The fountain） is the main gathering place of The Quarter, right outside of the restaurants, and we think it’s the best place to kick it off.”

　　If the test run is successful then the gaming options could be expanded to the square which is located near the Starbucks.
