Gamblers at Atlantic City casinos may someday be able to place bets while standing in line for dinner, in a lounge, or beside a swimming pool. The proposal comes as Atlantic City is feverishly trying to come up with new ways to attract customers.
Station Casinos’ sports book operations added well-respected race and sports book veteran Chuck Esposito, who will take over as Director of Race and Sports Book Operations at Sunset Station in Henderson.
