From NJ.com – Revel will be closing its poker room in August in a move to help bolster the fledgling resort’s bottom line, according to a report by the Press of Atlantic City.

“After careful consideration and in an effort to further improve the overall operating performance of Revel Casino-Hotel, management has made the decision to close our poker room operations effective August 2013,” announced a statement on Tuesday .

The move is the latest in a series of ups and downs for the resort since its opening in April 2012.

On the heels of battling bankruptcy, the casino even recently worked to lure a greater share of gamblers in the city, including offering returns on slot losses.

The statement said the casino may offer poker again in the future, particularly as the online gaming landscape begins to take shape in New Jersey.
