15,000 Player Votes Crown Atlantic City’s Favorite Casinos

The winners are in for the Atlantic City category at the 2026 International Casino Awards.

The casino that won this year, with 32.4% of more than 15,000 player votes tallied by Casinos.com, is Caesars Atlantic City.

The recognition, determined entirely by player votes rather than by industry experts or panels, placed Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in second with 17% of the vote, and Borgata Hotel Casino and Bally's Atlantic City Hotel and Casino tied for third with 15%.

The International Casino Awards span more than 100 categories celebrating casino entertainment, ranging from Best Casino in the World to specialized honors such as the Royal Flush Award for Best Casino Toilet.

“While there are national and global categories, it’s important to give resorts that serve their local communities and economies their flowers too.”

Other Awards Winners:

One thing you won't be short on in Atlantic City is choice. Between the Boardwalk and the Marina District, there should be a little something for everyone.

There are mega-resorts for those who like everything self-contained and more modest casinos for those who can find the bigger ones overwhelming.

There are party casinos for the young and more detached, quiet ones for the more restrained, as well as a full variety on the luxury scale, too.
