The president and chief operating officer of Borgata, Melonie Johnson was quoted as saying: “We are happy to welcome back our loyal players as we reopen Atlantic City’s market-leading East Coast poker destination.” According to Press of Atlantic City, more than 100 poker players visited the poker room on its first day open.
