Caesars Atlantic City
Caesars Atlantic City packs over 1,700 slots into its floor, including Buffalo Link and Dragon Link, and you can also chase Wheel of Fortune Cash Link Big Money here after a recent multi-tower renovation.
Caesars Atlantic City sits on the Boardwalk with slot counts that vary depending on who's counting -- Caesars' own site cites over 1,700 machines, while a separate destination review puts the number above 3,000 across 145,000 square feet on two levels -- but either figure describes a large, recently renovated floor. The property came out of a $240-plus million resort transformation that upgraded more than 750 rooms across the Centurion and Ocean Towers, and it's added close to 200 new slot machines since, which means the floor you'd find on a visit today looks noticeably different from what was there even a couple of years back. Here's what's actually on the floor, what the room feels like, and what to know before you play.
Slot Machines
The link-style slot families dominate the named games here, reflecting the same hold-and-spin bonus mechanics that have taken over casino floors industry-wide. Buffalo Link and Dragon Link anchor the lineup, joined by more specific variants like Dragon Link - Golden Century and Lock It Link - Diamonds, plus Wheel of Fortune Cash Link Big Money, all built around the same linked-jackpot format that keeps players moving between related cabinets rather than sticking to one machine. A run of newer arrivals rounds things out: Spooky Link Mo Mummy and Tiki Fire - Lightning Cash lean into seasonal and novelty themes, Dragon Cash Happy & Prosperous continues the Asian-fortune thread that runs through so much of the modern slot floor, and Jewel of the Dragon, Drop & Lock - Wild Country, and Rakin' Bacon! Deluxe were all named in a recent floor review as current, working machines rather than legacy titles. Caesars' own 'new slots' guide adds Jackpot Party VIP Disco, Visitors from the Planet Moolah, Buffalo Mega Stampede, and Kong Skull Island as part of a batch of nearly 200 new machines recently added to the floor -- so if you played here even a year or two ago, expect some of the cabinets you remember to have been swapped out for newer versions of the same underlying games.
Layout, Renovation, and Atmosphere
The property spans two casino floors, and reviewers describe them differently: the second floor is 'incredibly well maintained' and 'pretty lively and upbeat,' while the first floor is 'slightly older' and, per one review, could use a renovation of its own -- a contrast worth knowing if you're picky about which level you play on. That two-level split lines up with the $240-plus million resort transformation that upgraded the Centurion and Ocean Towers -- more than 750 rooms in total -- though the casino floor itself shows an uneven finish depending on which level you're on, suggesting the renovation budget went further into the hotel rooms than into refreshing every corner of the gaming floor. Both floors have designated smoking areas, so smokers and non-smokers alike have options on either level rather than needing to change floors to find their preferred section. Drink service runs on what Caesars calls a 'comped drinks light system,' where a light at the machine signals once a player has qualified for a free drink; orders are placed at the machine and, per one review, delivered within minutes -- a more automated approach than the flag-down-a-waitress model some other casinos still use. Cocktail waitresses and gaming staff are both described as friendly and approachable, which lines up with the generally upbeat atmosphere reviewers report on the newer second floor.
History and Location
The building started life as a Howard Johnson's Regency Motor Hotel, an 11-story, 425-room structure that opened in 1966, years before Atlantic City casino gambling was even legal. Caesars bought it in 1977 and announced expansion plans, but the casino itself didn't open until June 26, 1979 -- while regulatory review was still underway, the property launched simply as the Boardwalk Regency, without the Caesars name attached, making it the second casino to open in Atlantic City after Resorts International in 1978 kicked off the market. Once the Casino Control Commission approved the full branding, it became Caesars Boardwalk Regency in 1983, then simply Caesars Atlantic City in 1987 -- a decade-long process of gradually earning the right to use the Caesars name outright. The Circus Maximus Showroom replaced a smaller cabaret theater in 1985, and the 25-floor, 610-room Centurion Tower went up in 1997, adding significant room inventory as the property grew. A 2006-2008 renovation reworked the Boardwalk- and street-facing sides of the casino into Roman facades and added a new parking garage and hotel tower, tying the exterior more closely to the brand's signature look, with further renovations completed between 2021 and 2023. Vici Properties bought the property in October 2017 and leases it back to Caesars Entertainment under the current operating arrangement, the same landlord-operator structure Vici uses across several other Caesars properties.
What to Know Before You Play
If the floor feels inconsistent from one level to the next, that matches what reviewers report -- the second floor is the newer, better-maintained side, while the first floor carries more of the property's older character, so it's worth exploring both before settling in for the night. Both floors have their own designated smoking sections, so it's worth checking which level you're on if that matters to you, rather than assuming the whole casino follows one policy. Don't be surprised if the slot lineup doesn't match what you remember from a past trip -- close to 200 machines have been swapped in recently, and the property's own guides suggest that pace of rotation is ongoing rather than a one-time refresh. And if you come across one of the newer link-style cabinets and aren't sure what you're looking at, photographing it and asking 6-lab's Advisor is a faster way to get a straight answer than guessing from the machine's artwork.
