Tropicana Atlantic City was opened in 1981. In 1988 the resort was renamed TropWorld Casino and Entertainment Resort so that eight years later to undergo a casino renovation and receive their current name Tropicana Casino & Resort Atlantic City. But before that in 1970s closed what was for more than fifty years the Ambassador Hotel. A place where crime bosses, gangsters and other famous people of that time met for negotiation and pastime. Nowadays, Tropicana is not just one of the biggest hotels in NJ, but a bookie with aspiration to be one of the best in sports betting. William Hill is the one running the Tropicana sportsbook. From a temporary sportsbook, it transformed into a permanent one just before the March Madness.
Sports Betting Lines
Tropicana just like all the other sportsbooks run by William Hill has an excellent variety of sport to bet on. Football, baseball, basketball, hockey, tennis, golf, boxing, cycling, college and pro football, soccer, and the NASCAR are just some of them. The bookie accepts future bets on events like which team will win the NBA Championship or World Series. Point spread or moneyline bets are also available here just like the parlay, teaser, in-play bet, side bets and prop bets. Additionally, to above-mentioned the bookie offers alternate and reverse run line bets, and bet on whether or not a team will score in the first inning.
Bonuses
Tropicana doesn’t have much to offer in terms of bonuses. However, their offerings are still better than what we see at many other sportsbooks in NJ. Upon registration with William Hill Sportsbook at Tropicana AC app first time players have a chance to use the promo code TROP50 that requires bettors to deposit and make a minimum wager of $50 in order to get an extra $50 for next wagers on sports. There are two reward programs available - Tropicana’s and William Hill’s. Unfortunately, they seem to not be linked.
Deposit & Payout
Tropicana will most probably offer similar deposit and withdrawal options that are used at William Hill. For now players can cash in their winnings at the land-based sportsbook cashier. Customer support can be reached by calling 1-609-340-4000.
Mobile Betting & Site Usability
Tropicana already has an app to offer their bettors. Together with William Hill Tropicana brought to life the William Hill Sportsbook at Tropicana AC app. It is available for download for iOS and Android. The app is easy to make sense of with a pretty neat design.
Conclusion
Tropicana Casino & Resort Atlantic City took their time with their sportsbook opening. And after missing the football season the temporary facility finally opened in October followed by the permanent sportsbook in March. With William Hill’s brand name and experience hardly any sportsbook would perform badly. Still there’s always room for improvement in this business. Tropicana will do great if they introduce once again horse racing, a sport it once before offered at their casino. In addition, there seems to be bugs in the work of the sportsbook. Bettors won’t find much promos or bonuses or deposit and payout options at this bookie. Hopefully, we’ll see all this features and options added soon.
