Resorts Atlantic City Owes Nearly $337 Million, Casino Announces Day Before Handover Vote

Finance World News Update by EQUITIES Magazine

Resorts Atlantic City, the first U.S. casino to open outside Nevada, stated today that it owes nearly $337 million. The day before the casino is expected to pass the keys to its lenders, who haven’t been paid in a year, New Jersey’s oldest casino expressed serious doubts about its ability to continue to operate.

 

The casino commission is expected to approve a deal that would transfer ownership to the lenders. Co-owners Colony Capital LLC will give up its interest in the casino to partner Nicholas Ribis, who will manage the casino and continue to own the gambling equipment inside.

 

The news comes two days after Foxwoods Resorts Casino debit default and credit downgrade.
