What%26#39;s even more disturbing are the comments people are leaving about AC in general. Seems that a lot of people are happy to see them fail. Some of them are spot on though - the unions, smoking ban, and lack of sports betting are definitely affecting the bottom line. Wise up NJ!!

Casino Profits Down 38% in First Quarter

You have to take those posters with a grain of salt. It is always one parties fault never the other. Read any story in the paper and people will post negative comments. A forum like this one is more balanced in my opinion.

I agree with the sports betting. AC has missed out on a lot because of it and now that DE is getting it will only hurt.

Never had problems with dealers not speaking English or being rude.

Also the one poster who complained about not getting comps; how much do they play? Until you know that his post has no merit. People tend to take comps for granted and expect the world for little play. Remember the blow up because people who only played a 100 dollars stopped getting comps and they got upset? No other business gives what the casino business does. I am not defending them completely but I think sometimes people%26#39;s expectations are too high.
