Atlantic City Casino Map
Atlantic City has nine casinos, and they are the only casinos in New Jersey, since state law allows casino gambling only here. This map of Atlantic City casinos groups every property by area, from the six resorts that line the Boardwalk along the ocean to the three in the Marina district on the bay. They are full resort casinos, led by Borgata, the largest in the state, and the legal gambling age is 21 everywhere. For the wider state picture, see the New Jersey casino map.

Where the casinos cluster in Atlantic City
Atlantic City sits on a barrier island at the Jersey Shore, and its casinos fall into two clear groups. The larger, and the one most visitors picture, is the Boardwalk row. Six resorts face the ocean along the famous wooden walk, strung north to south so you can move between several on foot. Ocean and Hard Rock anchor the north end near Steel Pier, the two newest properties, both opened in 2018. Resorts, the very first Atlantic City casino, Bally’s in the center, and Caesars by the Pier Shops fill the middle, and Tropicana sits toward the south. This is the classic Atlantic City, casinos on one side and the beach and the Atlantic on the other.
The second group is the Marina district, about three miles away on the bay side near the inlet, reached by the Atlantic City Expressway connector rather than the Boardwalk. Three resorts sit here: Borgata, the largest and top grossing casino in the state, along with Harrah’s and its landmark domed pool and the Golden Nugget on the water. The Marina leans to the newer destination resort model, with the parking and the approach a little easier than the packed Boardwalk, and Borgata in particular draws visitors who never set foot on the wooden walk.
The split matters for planning. If you want to walk the Boardwalk, the beach, and Steel Pier between gambling, base yourself on the oceanfront. If you are driving in for a resort stay built around one property, the Marina is the simpler arrival. The two areas are only a short drive apart, so a visitor can easily see both in a single trip.

§ Casinos by area
The Boardwalk oceanfront · the wooden walk
Six resorts face the Atlantic along the Boardwalk. At the north end, Ocean Casino Resort, a tall glass high rise in the former Revel, and Hard Rock, in the former Taj Mahal, sit side by side near Steel Pier. Through the center, Resorts holds the distinction of being the city’s first casino, opened in 1978, Bally’s runs a large central floor with the Wild Wild West casino attached, and Caesars carries its Roman theme beside the Pier Shops. Tropicana toward the south is one of the bigger properties, with the Quarter dining and entertainment district inside. The whole row is walkable, which is part of the Boardwalk’s appeal.
The Marina district bay side · near the inlet
About three miles from the Boardwalk, on the bay near the inlet, the Marina district holds three resorts reached off the Atlantic City Expressway. Borgata is the marquee property, the largest and top grossing casino in the state, with the biggest poker room in the city and a long roster of restaurants, clubs, and shows. Harrah’s sits beside it with its glass domed pool club, and the Golden Nugget rounds out the group on the water by the harbor. The Marina plays as a self contained resort cluster, easy to drive to and park at.
Planning a visit to Atlantic City
- Getting there
- Atlantic City International Airport (ACY) is 15 to 20 minutes west. Philadelphia is about 90 minutes by car on the Atlantic City Expressway, and New York City roughly two and a half hours via the Garden State Parkway. NJ Transit runs a rail line from Philadelphia and buses from New York.
- Getting around
- The six Boardwalk casinos string along the oceanfront and are walkable end to end. The three Marina district resorts are about three miles away by car. A jitney and rolling chairs run the Boardwalk; a car is easiest between the two areas.
- Minimum age
- 21 to gamble, statewide in New Jersey, and 21 for the sportsbooks and online play. Verify at the property before a visit.
- Sports betting
- Legal at the casino sportsbooks and fully online across the state, for bettors 21 and up.
- Hours & parking
- Casino floors run 24/7. Most resorts offer self-parking and valet, paid on the Boardwalk and generally easier at the Marina; amenities keep their own hours.
The Boardwalk, the beach, and the shows
Atlantic City works as a shore destination as much as a gambling one, and the Boardwalk is the spine of it. The walk runs for miles past the casinos, with the free public beach on one side and shops, food, and amusements on the other. Steel Pier juts into the ocean across from Hard Rock with rides and a tall observation wheel, and Boardwalk Hall, the historic arena that once hosted the Miss America pageant, books concerts and events a few steps off the sand. Tanger Outlets The Walk gathers more than a hundred stores a couple of blocks inland, and the resorts themselves carry the big rooms: Borgata leans on its theater, clubs, and chef restaurants, Hard Rock on live music, and Tropicana on the Quarter’s dining and bars. A trip here can be built around a show, the beach, or a meal as much as the tables.
The Atlantic City poker scene
Atlantic City has a real poker identity, and it centers on Borgata. The Marina resort runs the largest poker room in the city and hosts marquee tournament series through the year, including the Borgata Winter and Summer Poker Opens, which draw fields from across the region. Several Boardwalk casinos also spread cash games and smaller tournaments, so a poker visitor has options, but Borgata is the anchor and the reason serious players make the trip. New Jersey’s regulated online poker, tied to these same casino licenses, runs alongside the live rooms for play within the state.
Sports betting and online play
New Jersey is the state that opened legal sports betting nationwide, and Atlantic City is where the retail side lives. Its 2018 Supreme Court win struck down the federal ban, and the casinos here launched sportsbooks within weeks. Today every Atlantic City resort offers a sportsbook, from the large BetMGM space at Borgata to counters on the Boardwalk, and online betting runs statewide through apps tied to these licenses. The same is true of casino games: New Jersey has one of the biggest regulated online casino markets in the country, and the apps are operated through the nine Atlantic City casinos. The minimum age for all of it is 21, and online play requires you to be physically inside the state.
