Ocean Casino Resort’s Premier NJ Sports Betting Hub

Our collaboration with Fanatics may be a new addition to our sports gambling space, but we’re no strangers to the sportsbook here at Ocean Casino Resort. Take a look at everything our one-of-a-kind sportsbook space—The Gallery Bar, Book & Games—has to offer.

The Betting Floor

While the energy in our casino is unmatched, there’s simply no substitute for the atmosphere on our sports betting floor—especially during a highly-anticipated matchup. 

Visitors to our mecca of sports gaming enjoy amenities like:

• A 100-foot elevated bar and lounge with 59 seats
• 12 slot machines available for any time play
• 140 feet of LED-lined walls 
• A fully-stocked bar with a food menu of favorites like mozzarella sticks and cheesesteaks

This 12,000-square-foot space is a shrine to all things sports gaming. It’s the ultimate place to catch a game during your stay, host an event with your fantasy league, treat corporate cohorts to a casino experience, or watch the season’s biggest matches with fellow fans. 

Plus, it’s a great place to keep the party going after some of Ocean Casino Resort’s other venues close for the night. The Gallery Bar, Book & Games serves drinks 24 hours a day, offering night owl gamers, vacationers, and barflies an undeniably energetic hangout spot. 

Balcony Bar
