Journalist Wayne Parry, known for his work at AP casino, departs for The Press of Atlantic City.

The Press of Atlantic City is making a significant shift in its news coverage, with a renewed focus on casino gambling, sports betting, and legislative news affecting Atlantic City and New Jersey.

Veteran journalist Wayne Parry, who has been with the Associated Press for many years, is joining the team at The Press of Atlantic City, effective from Monday, February 1, 2023. Parry will bring his extensive experience to the table, covering Atlantic City casinos, gambling, sports betting, and legislative news for the newspaper.

In addition to his primary focus on casino and gambling news, Parry will also be reporting on environment and state government news for Atlantic City and South New Jersey. This expanded role reflects The Press of Atlantic City's commitment to providing comprehensive coverage of the city and the surrounding region.

The news comes as a non-gaming hotel with a Monopoly-inspired aesthetic is set to break ground in Atlantic City in early 2025. The hotel will feature a three-story structure with a top hat on the roof, adding a unique touch to the city's skyline.

Meanwhile, Freehold Raceway, America's oldest horse racing track, has held its final races after 170 years of history. The track, which opened in 1852, has been a staple of the New Jersey racing scene for generations, but will now close its doors permanently.

As The Press of Atlantic City continues to expand its coverage, readers can expect in-depth reporting and analysis on the latest developments in Atlantic City's casino industry, sports betting scene, and more. With Wayne Parry at the helm, the newspaper is poised to provide unparalleled coverage of these important issues.
