Since that time, Ocean has strengthened its position in the market and continues to gain market share. Over the last year, Ocean’s team has progressed under new leadership that features top executives in the gaming and hospitality industries.

Their investment gives Ocean access to growth capital and provides a strategic partner to Luxor. Luxor Capital commented, “We are excited to welcome the Ilitch organization to Atlantic City. Ilitch’s investment will allow the resort to build on its success through continued expenditure in the property and enhanced customer and team member experiences.

The joint venture, previously announced earlier this year, is an exciting development for Ocean as the resort continues to advance into the premier Atlantic City destination.

Luxor will control the remaining 50% and will share equally with the Illitch organization in major decisions involving Ocean. Luxor Capital Group, LP, the primary owner of Ocean Casino Resort, announced that the Ilitch organization has received regulatory approval and will acquire, through an affiliate, 50% of Ocean.
