Customers of Atlantic City’s former Revel casino know what they want when it reopens as the Ocean Resort Casino this summer.
They told The Associated Press that a better layout, the ability to smoke indoors, more affordable dining options and player rewards are among their desires.
The casino was sold earlier this month to Colorado developer Bruce Deifik.
Many former Revel customers say they hope the new property is laid out better than Revel was.
They liked the top-name entertainment Revel offered, but chafed at top-tier ticket prices.
More than anything, customers say they want to feel welcome in the new casino, something that was not always the case at Revel, which closed in 2014 after just over two years of operation.
