Headlining the gambling industry news this week is the announcement that the lavish Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City is undergoing a hotel transformation as part of a seven-year, $270 million investment. In addition, we had a pair of Las Vegas jackpot winners, a massive fine from the Dutch regulator, and a new dining concept at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut.

Let’s begin with some big wins in Sin City:

5. The LINQ Hotel + Experience pays out $494,420 jackpot
On 13 April, Juliana won a jackpot of $494,420 when she hit a royal flush while playing Three Card Poker on her first hand of the morning at The LINQ Hotel + Experience.

The player was visiting from Southern California to celebrate her 12th wedding anniversary and planned on using the money to extend her trip and pay off debt.
1. Ocean Casino Resort unveils hotel transformation
Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City announced over $50 million in property-wide capital investments planned for 2025. These new development projects are part of a seven-year, $270 million property transformation that Ocean has been implementing since its inception in 2018.

Ocean’s 2025 investment in its guest rooms and suites marks the culmination of a multi-year project to transform all 1,860 guest rooms and suites at the property.

In addition, the AC resort is opening two new restaurants in partnership with restaurateur Stephen Starr, who is lending STARR Restaurants' expertise on the conceptualization of the two venues. The multi-million-dollar concepts will be located on Ocean’s Lobby Level and are scheduled to open this summer.

As part of its ongoing upgrade of the casino experience, Ocean will introduce a larger polished Asian Gaming space by summer 2025.
