新泽西博彩行业多年来一直在寻找可以重振大西洋赌城风采的突破点，狂化赌城在周一获得博彩许可证或许就是这个突破点。

　　狂欢赌场在2008年全球金融危机之前就已经筹备多年了，一直被寄予“赌业救星”的厚望。更对大西洋城赢得经济危机之后的全国赌业扩张大战具有举足轻重的作用，很多人认为它就是解决问题的答案。狂欢是按照顶尖水准设计开发的赌场，有娱乐场所、餐馆、外卖店和10道泳池、SPA、剧院以及一个巨大的博彩大厅，在大西洋城甚至整个东海岸都没有可以与其比肩的。

　　“那些总是出人意料的华尔街的家伙们如我们所愿，做五六个小时的飞机来拉斯维加斯，是因为我们是赌徒？不，是因为我们想寻找乐趣，这就是狂欢存在的意义”狂欢的首席信息官迈克尔.加里蒂说。

　　这个耗资数亿美元的场所预期能够吸引全球各地的消费者。澳门在最近几年成为了世界博彩之都，拉斯维加斯近几个月的税收也大有起色，此外，大西洋城还要面对宾夕法尼亚州、马里兰州博彩业大举扩张的威胁，现在连马萨诸塞州和纽约州的立法者也在深入探讨全面开放边境地区博彩行业的问题。

　　周一新泽西博彩管委会给予狂欢赌场博彩许可证，并且确信将来狂欢赌场会在新泽西州大放异彩。“我们对您和您的狂欢团队寄予厚望，您卓越的市场运营能力在未来大西洋城博彩行业的成功发展中必将发挥重要作用”管委会主席琳达对狂欢的董事长兼首席执行官德凯文.桑科迪斯说。

　　Borgata是大西洋城最后开业的另一家赌场，管理者认为Borgata和狂欢能够一起吸引消费者回到大西洋城。

　　狂欢赌场曾因经济危机的影响而终止开发，直至金融局面平稳方才重新启动，并将于4月2日开业。

　　New Jersey Approves Gaming License For Revel Casino

　　New Jersey's casino gambling industry has been searching for several years for a spark that could reignite the Atlantic City gaming industry. On Monday, they may have received that spark when Revel was granted a gaming license in the state.

　　Revel has been in the works for years, and even before the 2008 economic recession, Revel was considered a key to reviving an industry that had lost its luster. With casino expansion taking place all across the US since the recession, it has become even more imperative that Atlantic City casinos find a way to hold off the competition.

　　Revel is considered by many to be that answer. The facility is a state-of-the-art casino, equipped with entertainment space, restaurants, and retail outlets. Revel will also feature 10 pools, a spa, a theatre, and a large gaming floor. Revel has no rival in Atlantic City or anywhere else on the East Coast.

　　"What always amazed me about Wall Street guys is our willingness to get on a plane, and fly five or six hours to Las Vegas," said Michael Garrity, Revel's CIO. "Because we're gamblers? No. Because we want to have fun. That's what Revel is all about.

　　The multi-billion dollar facility is expected to bring customers from all corners of the world. Macau has become the gaming capital of the world in recent years, and Las Vegas has had a revenue resurgence in recent months. Atlantic City, however, continues to be swallowed up by massive expansion taking place in states such as Pennsylvania, Maryland, and now even Massachusetts. New York lawmakers are also deep in discussion about opening their borders to full-scale casino gambling.

　　Regulators from the New Jersey Casino Control Commission granted the Revel gaming license on Monday, and they made no secret of what the facility could mean to the state of New Jersey in the future.

　　"We are placing a great deal of confidence in you, Mr. DeSanctis, and your team at Revel," said Linda Kassekert, Chairwoman of the Commission, when speaking to Revel's CEO and President Kevin DeSanctis. "Your ability to market this property and draw new people to come and experience what Atlantic City has to offer will play an enormous role in the future success of the gaming industry here."

　　The Borgata was the last casino to open in Atlantic City, and at the time, regulators felt that the Borgata and Revel together could help bring customers back to AC. When the recession hit, Revel was one of the short-term casualties, with developers halting the project. Once the financial market stabilized, the project was restarted, and the facility is now set to open on April 2nd.
