Resorts turns back the clock with $2 blackjack tables

The city's oldest casino will turn back the clock by resurrecting the $2 blackjack table.

However, Resorts Atlantic City will also collect a 25-cent fee per hand for bets of between $2 and $5 at its new "Retro Blackjack" games.

The fee was approved Wednesday by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission and is the first of its kind in Atlantic City.

Credit Suisse Group takes over Atlantic City's oldest casino

Credit Suisse Group AG has taken over New Jersey's oldest casino, becoming the second European bank in 16 months to claim ownership of a defaulting U.S. gambling resort.

Colony Capital LLC last week handed over Resorts Atlantic City's deed to mortgage holders led by Credit Suisse's Column Financial in lieu of foreclosure, after missing payments on a $360 million loan since November 2008. Credit Suisse had bundled $175 million of the loan into a commercial mortgage-backed security sold to other investors, according to documents filed with New Jersey's casino control commission. Resorts, the first U.S. casino outside of Nevada when it opened in 1978, becomes Atlantic City's first bank-owned casino. Deutsche Bank AG is paying to complete and open the $3.9 billion Cosmopolitan Resort & Casino in Las Vegas since it foreclosed on a $760 million loan to developer Ian Bruce Eichner last year.

Security Guard Delivers Baby In AC Casino

Officials said Saturday's birth was the first time a baby has been born on a casino floor since legalized gambling came to Atlantic City in 1978.

Workers at the Resorts Casino said they pride themselves on service, but this weekend, it was the security guards who delivered---literally.

Security supervisor Charles Baldwin has worked at Resorts since the day it opened. But he said that he never helped bring a baby into the world on the casino floor.

“Her water broke and she just told us the baby was coming and we just laid her down on the floor and went from there,” said Baldwin.
