    As the world twists. PokerStars, wishing to again become a part of the U.S. market, plans to purchase the old Atlantic City Hilton even while the founder is under criminal indictment. The price is a pittance compared to their settlement with the Justice Department. Running a land-based casino in New Jersey would probably allow them to also launch online Poker under new N.J. law. Given the state of A.C., N.J. is likely to take investment where it can.

      Will their license application be approved ?
      Historically speaking, M.G.M., Wynn, Adelson, et al
      have failed to gain said approval.

      If they affer to invest more cash, it would be difficult for N.J. to turn them down.

      The shuttering of a poorly-performing casino may have

      little, if any, effect on aggregate tax revenues for the state.

      If Pokerstars buys Resorts is it still going to be the gay casino? If you like to dress in drag as cover you will blend right in in Resorts right now. The games are pretty good too for AC standards. That isn't saying much but the few times I was there the pen was pretty good. Unfortunately my efforts to find uncrowded tables at the games I like to play went less successfully.

      Is it it now a gay-friendly club?

      Thats my understanding. I was paying attention to the cards so I didn't leave with that impression. Dealers and other customers say it has a gay bar and the casino floor is crawling with drag queens when it lets out.

      The link says The Atlantic Club, not Resorts.

      I won't play where I'm afraid to drop a chip on the floor.
