Revel Casino
Revel casino is to be reimbursed nearly $21,000 after an armoured car company lost it.
A search for the missing money failed to recover it.
The police said that an internal investigation by GardaWorld found no wrongdoing, and that the bag of money had been accidently left on the truck roof.
The company picked up the cash at the soon-to-be-closed Revel casino on August 6.
The surveillance video shows that the truck left Revel with the bag of cash on the rear driver’s side roof of the truck at 10.51am – which was twenty minutes after the first bag was picked up, according to the report.
The money was still on the roof when the truck collected cash at Resorts Atlantic City, which is approximately six minutes away, according to the surveillance there.
The truck then drives away with the bag still on the roof, and it is unknown when the bag then fell off the roof.
Revel is to close in September.
The $2.4 billion casino has never turned over a profit, and its closure will result in the loss of more than 3,100 jobs.
Revel opened in April 2012 as the first new casino in Atlantic City since the Borgata opened nine years earlier. Many believed that, it would bring the casino market in Atlantic City back to life. The casino industry there has been in steep decline.
It was originally believed that its launch would turn around the crumbling gambling market in the seaside resort.
Since 2006, Atlantic City’s casino revenue has fallen from $5.2 billion to $2.86 billion in 2013.
Revel has consistently ranked as near the bottom in terms of the amount of money won by punters.
It was originally hoped to be a luxury resort with a casino, but the model has not been successful, and it filed for bankruptcy in 2013, just a little over a year after opening.
New ownership and a promotional campaign were not enough to save the casino, and it filed for bankruptcy a second time in June, warning that it would close if a suitable buyer could not be found in time.
Revel will close its hotel on September 1 and its casino on September 2.
