In 1998, the property was purchased by and currently is owned & operated by Harrah's Entertainment, the company sold off its sisters in Las Vegas (Showboat Las Vegas renamed Castaways hotel and casino) and Showboat East Chicago (was renamed Harrah's East Chicago and was later sold to Resorts International and renamed Resorts East Chicago). Harrah's would later added Caesars Atlantic City and Bally's Atlantic City in 2005 when the company acquired Caesars Entertainment Inc . It was the most northernmost casino on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, Revel Entertainment is building its first casino resort next to it (making the northernmost casino resort).
