The two Atlantic City venues documented in this reference set sit 0.4 and 0.6 straight-line miles from the city's coordinate center, placing both within a compact boardwalk-adjacent cluster. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time for any route.
Whether any Atlantic City casino currently has a Money Vault slot machine on its floor is a live inventory question, not a geographic one. The reference set used here documents venue locations, facility sizes, and ownership, but it contains no machine-level inventory for any property, so no venue-specific claim about that game can be made from these facts. What this article can do is fix the venues in space, show how they relate to the city and to each other, and explain exactly which channel holds the current answer about a specific machine.
The Two Documented Boardwalk Venues
Atlantic City's documented casino properties in this reference set are Showboat Atlantic City and Ocean Casino Resort. Both sit at the northeastern edge of the city, near the boardwalk and the oceanfront, and both are within a mile of the city's coordinate center at 39.3625, -74.425.
Showboat's documented coordinates place it at 39.36166667, -74.41805556, which is 0.4 straight-line miles from the city center. Ocean Casino Resort's documented coordinates are 39.36175, -74.41349722, which is 0.6 straight-line miles from the same point. The two venues are separated by a fraction of a mile along the boardwalk corridor, though the exact walking distance between entrances is not measured in this reference set.
Documented Straight-Line Distances from Atlantic City Center
The table below lists every venue-to-city pairing supplied in the reference set, with the measurement type stated explicitly. These are great-circle figures, not road distances.
| Reference Point | Straight-Line Miles | Measurement Type |
|---|---|---|
| Showboat Atlantic City | 0.4 | great-circle |
| Ocean Casino Resort | 0.6 | great-circle |
| Parx Casino (Bensalem, PA) | 59.3 | great-circle |
| Bally's Dover (Dover, DE) | 60.4 | great-circle |
| Harrington Raceway & Casino (Harrington, DE) | 68.9 | great-circle |
| Delaware Park (Wilmington, DE) | 70.4 | great-circle |
| Valley Forge Casino (King of Prussia, PA) | 73.2 | great-circle |
| Ocean Downs (Berlin, MD) | 80.3 | great-circle |
| Wind Creek Bethlehem (Bethlehem, PA) | 99.7 | great-circle |
| Bethlehem (PA) | 99.7 | great-circle |
These figures describe how far each venue sits from Atlantic City's coordinate center as a straight line through the air. They do not reflect the road network, bridges, tolls, or the Delaware Bay crossing that a driver would need to navigate for the Pennsylvania and Delaware destinations.
Why Straight-Line Distance Understates the Real Trip
A great-circle distance is the shortest path between two points on the Earth's surface. A car cannot travel that path. The actual road route is shaped by the Delaware River and Delaware Bay to the west and south of Atlantic City, by the barrier island geography of the Jersey Shore, and by the limited number of bridge crossings that connect the city to the mainland.
For the two boardwalk venues, the straight-line figures are small because both properties sit essentially at the city's northeastern edge, within the same coastal grid. For Parx Casino in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, the 59.3 straight-line miles cross the Delaware River; a road trip must use one of the river crossings and then follow the regional highway network. For the Delaware venues, the straight-line path crosses Delaware Bay, which no passenger road does.
The reference set does not contain road mileage for any pair, and this article does not estimate it. Road distance depends on the specific origin point, the crossing chosen, traffic, and construction, all of which are outside the documented facts.
Atlantic City's Position in the Region
Atlantic City sits at 39.3625 north latitude and -74.425 west longitude, on a barrier island along the New Jersey coast. The city faces the Atlantic Ocean to the east and is separated from mainland New Jersey by a series of bays and inlets to the west. Its documented venues lie at the northeastern edge of the built-up area, adjacent to the boardwalk.
Relative to the other documented venues in the reference set, Atlantic City is the easternmost and southernmost of the New Jersey and Pennsylvania cluster. Parx Casino in Bensalem sits northwest of Atlantic City, across the Delaware River. Bally's Dover and Harrington Raceway sit southwest, across Delaware Bay. Valley Forge and Wind Creek Bethlehem sit further northwest and north, respectively. All of these directional statements are derived from the documented coordinates and state names, not from any road map.
How to Confirm a Specific Slot Machine on the Floor
Slot machine inventories change as operators rotate games, lease cabinets, and reconfigure floor sections. A game like Money Vault may be present at a property one month and removed the next, or it may be installed on one bank of machines and not another. No static reference set can answer whether a specific title is currently on a specific floor.
The authoritative current answer lives in the property's own channels. A reader should contact the casino's guest services desk or slot operations department directly, or check the property's published floor directory if one exists. Some properties list current game titles on their website; others require a phone call or a visit to the floor. Before travelling specifically to play one machine, confirm with the venue that the game is currently installed and operating.
What to Confirm Before You Go
Several items change between the time you read this and the time you arrive, and none of them are documented in this reference set. Confirm each through the property's own booking page, guest services line, or published hours page.
- Whether the specific slot title is currently on the floor, and on which bank or section.
- Current operating hours for the gaming floor and any entry requirements.
- Parking availability and any associated cost.
- Hotel room availability and current rates, if you plan to stay overnight.
- Any loyalty program requirements or tier restrictions that affect floor access.
The venue's own website and guest services line are the authoritative channels for all of these. Third-party directories and older articles frequently carry stale machine lists, so treat any inventory claim that is not confirmed by the property as unverified.
FAQ
Can this article tell me if Money Vault is at a specific Atlantic City casino?
No. The reference set used here documents venue locations, facility sizes, and ownership, but it contains no machine-level inventory for any property. Slot machine titles rotate frequently, so the only authoritative current answer comes from the property's guest services desk or published floor directory. Contact the venue directly before travelling specifically to play one machine.
How far apart are Showboat and Ocean Casino Resort?
The reference set supplies each venue's straight-line distance from Atlantic City's coordinate center: Showboat at 0.4 miles and Ocean Casino Resort at 0.6 miles. The straight-line distance between the two venues themselves is not a documented pairing in this reference set, so this article does not state it. Both sit in the same boardwalk-adjacent cluster at the city's northeastern edge.
Why are the Pennsylvania and Delaware casinos so far away in road terms?
The straight-line figures for Parx, Bally's Dover, Harrington, and the others cross the Delaware River or Delaware Bay. No passenger road follows those straight-line paths, so the road trip is always longer and involves bridge or highway routing that the reference set does not document. This article publishes only great-circle distances and does not estimate road mileage or travel time.
