Atlantic City's fixed position
If your question is about casinos in Atlantic City, the fixed point here is the city itself: Atlantic City, New Jersey, at coordinates 39.3625, -74.425. Your own starting point may vary, but the city's position does not, which is why the useful measurements here are the documented straight-line comparisons from Atlantic City to named venues.
This file documents 318 venue-to-city measurements for Atlantic City, but it is not a census of every casino in the city or region. For a complete and current list, the place to check is the relevant state or tribal gaming regulator rather than any single directory.

What those distances do and do not tell you
A straight-line figure tells you how far two points are across the earth's surface as the crow flies. It is useful for seeing which venues are geographically closest to Atlantic City, but it does not tell you the road mileage, the route shape, or how long a trip takes.
That gap matters especially in places where water, shoreline shape, local street layout, bridge crossings, and state boundaries influence the path available to real vehicles. Even when two points look close on a map, the usable route can bend around waterways, built-up street grids, and jurisdictional boundaries, so the real trip is always longer than the straight-line figure shown here.
Where the documented venues sit relative to Atlantic City
Two of the documented venues in this set are in Atlantic City itself. Showboat is in Atlantic City, New Jersey, with coordinates 39.36166667, -74.41805556, and Ocean Casino is also in Atlantic City, New Jersey, with coordinates 39.36175, -74.41349722.
Using the documented coordinates alone, both of those venues sit slightly east of the city's reference coordinates, because their longitude values are less negative than -74.425. Both also sit slightly south of the city's reference coordinates, because their latitude values are just below 39.3625.
The other documented venues listed in the distance table are outside Atlantic City. Parx is documented in Bensalem, Pennsylvania; Bally's Dover is documented in Dover, Delaware; and Harrington is documented in Harrington, Delaware. Those entries help place Atlantic City within a wider regional casino geography, but the measurements remain straight-line only.

How to use this if your starting point is somewhere else
A common reading of a search like this is really about whether a venue is in Atlantic City itself or farther away in the surrounding region. The table answers that part directly: Showboat and Ocean Casino are the documented Atlantic City pairs nearest the city reference point, while the Pennsylvania and Delaware venues listed here are much farther away in straight-line terms.
If your real question is the distance from your home, hotel, or current position, that specific measurement is not supplied here unless your starting point is Atlantic City itself. The reliable way to finish the job is to place your own starting point on a map, compare it with the venue's documented city and coordinates where available, and then use a current mapping service for route mileage and time.
What to confirm before you go
Before setting out, confirm the changeable details that a static location guide should not guess. That includes current opening status, parking arrangements, hotel availability, venue access rules, and any amenity details such as gaming floor layout, restaurants, or event space usage.
The authoritative current answer lives on the property's own official channels, especially its contact page, booking path, parking information, and posted guest information. If you are comparing Atlantic City venues with properties in Pennsylvania or Delaware, also verify the current venue identity and branding, because ownership and branding can change over time.
