Ocean Casino Resort<\/strong> CEO Terry Glebocki<\/strong> lays out<\/a> how the former Revel<\/strong> weathered the Coronavirus<\/strong> shutdown, which is expected to lift tomorrow. Her first move was to suspend revenue-sharing agreements with slot manufacturers. After all, there was no revenue to share. Secondly, 90% of the workforce was pink-slipped, although Glebocki expects to be back up to 65% employment this weekend. It’s an open question as to whether that will be overstaffing, as Gov. Phil Murphy<\/strong> (D) is reopening Garden State casinos at a tight 25% of capacity. Temperature screenings haven’t (yet) been mandated but you’d better be prepared to wear a mask, whether as worker or guest. Cards will be switched out six times a day and dice will be sanitized at every change of shooter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reports Global Gaming Business<\/em>, “The property also purchased electrostatic sprayers and misters to aid in cleansing the air, and since Ocean is the newest ground-up building on the [Atlantic City<\/strong>] Boardwalk, it already had a superior air filtration system.” Adds Glebocki, “The building was built for social distancing, so space is not our enemy here; it\u2019s our friend.\u201d Even so, food trucks are In, restaurants momentarily Out. In, spas, Out, live entertainment. Bart Blatstein<\/strong>‘s newly proposed water park has Glebocki’s enthusiastic thumbs-up: “I think any new amenities that are added to this North Beach section are fabulous. We encourage all of it, and I think we all work well together.\u201d But the bottom line is \u201cI am just thrilled that we have a date. That was the important thing. We needed a date.” Now they have it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
