(US).- New Jersey's Division of Gaming Enforcement issued its final closing order for Showboat Atlantic City, which will end gambling operations on Aug. 31 at 4 p.m.. Showboat casino — which opened in 1987 — filed a petition to shut down on Aug. 1, which will be granted by the state order.
The move "seemed to indicate its owner, Caesars Entertainment, has little intention of considering selling it, despite public statements to the contrary," according to The Associated Press.
"After 4 p.m. on Aug. 31, 2014, Showboat will cease all gaming operations and Showboat will no longer be open to the public in any capacity," the company wrote in its petition.
The order addresses post-closure concerns, including taking inventory of alcoholic beverages and slot machines before transferring any to the company's other three casinos in Atlantic City; and allowing customers holding Showboat chips after the shutdown to redeem them at the other casinos: Harrah's, Bally's and Caesars.
