I’ve never personally stayed at Tropicana, but what is obvious is they have a lot of hotel towers. There’s usually enough tables open to be able to find a spot to play what you like most of the time, but the tables are busy enough that you generally won’t be playing by yourself. I’ve played $5 craps earlier in the day on a weekday multiple times, and it increases to $10 at a certain point.

They have a solid selection of both standard and carnival table games, with minimums that fluctuate based on date and time. Tropicana has a large table games section on one end near the cashier booths. Overall I find the machines offer decent play – I’ve had solid luck while playing there and never feel like the games are too tough. They launched drink ordering on their machines not all that long ago, akin to what’s available at Hard Rock and similar to what the Caesars properties have had for years. They have strict rules on free play that if there’s not a reasonable amount of play, they’ll cut your offers.

Their free play used to be quite generous, but it was slashed after the acquisition by Eldorado.

They also have some solid video poker choices relative to some of the other properties. The selection is pretty strong, a mix of old and new machines that will have something for everyone. Tropicana has more than 2,500 slot machines, with the bulk of them on a sizable second-floor gaming floor, but there’s others in the Quarter as well as on the first floor near the boardwalk entrance. The vision of previous owners to make the property a complete casino resort on the level of Las Vegas, to compete with the Borgata, has served it well, and under its new ownership of Eldorado is likely to join the Caesars Rewards network when their acquisition of Caesars is completed.

Under the ownership of Carl Icahn, a solid amount of investment between 20 saw great upgrades that have kept it competitive with the opening of Ocean and Hard Rock in recent years as well. Tropicana Atlantic City is a sprawling complex of a property that features more than 2,000 hotel rooms across a group of towers, a shopping and dining area called The Quarter, and a Havana theme that’s well executed across the property.
