Atlantic City’s Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa has completed a series of upgrades to its gaming and hospitality operations, introducing new amenities designed to meet changing customer preferences and drive growth.
The multimillion-dollar updates include a renovated casino floor, a new high-limit gaming section, a redesigned bar, and a new Asian restaurant, all located within close proximity on the main level of the property.
While the casino did not disclose the total investment, the project is described by James Bruno, vice president of casino operations, as the most significant overhaul to the gaming space since Borgata’s 2003 opening.
A key focus of the renovation is the Asian gaming segment, which accounts for at least 10% of Borgata’s customer base. Bruno told The Free Press of Atlantic City that this market has contributed to an estimated $100 million annual increase in revenue across city casinos in recent years.
The redesigned Asian gaming area features five private suites with configurable layouts. Depending on player demand, table games such as roulette or blackjack can be switched to mini-baccarat or pai gow, provided there is advance notice. The carpeting design integrates cultural motifs, including elements from Chinese dragon dances and fan patterns that guide foot traffic within the space.
Located nearby is Noodles, a restaurant concept brought in from Bellagio in Las Vegas. It replaces Borgata’s previous Asian-themed dining option and occupies a space roughly twice the size. It sits about 10 feet from the nearest gaming tables, allowing guests quick access between gaming and dining.
Borgata's B Bar
Borgata also opened a new high-limit gambling section accommodating wagers from $100 to $25,000. The area includes two private rooms for credit-related transactions. According to Bruno, the space was created to meet demand from customers who typically place large single bets.
The casino’s B Bar reopened May 9 following renovations that introduced bar-top slot machines and updated the layout. Guests were already using the new machines during a recent weekday visit.
In 2024, Borgata and its online gaming affiliates reported $1.36 billion in combined revenue, a 5.1% increase over 2023. The property led Atlantic City’s nine casinos in total gaming revenue last year. In-person casino earnings reached $738 million, up 1.2% from the previous year.
Other properties in Atlantic City are also updating their facilities. Ocean Casino Resort is spending $50 million on room renovations, casino expansion, and new dining options. Tropicana Atlantic City is set to begin work on 604 hotel rooms and suites after Labor Day, with completion scheduled for January.
