In many ways, Bally’s Atlantic City Hotel and Casino has a lot of similarities to its host metropolis.
Both were once highly regarded as a place to see and be seen.
Today, they barely resemble anything close to their former heydays. The foundations of Atlantic City and Bally’s are solid but the facades need work. Each is now searching to regain some semblance of former glory.
So, as intertwined as the two are, it makes sense that Bally’s would put someone in charge who is intimately familiar with both the city and the casino.

Polcino, 68, is now the general manager of Bally’s Atlantic City.
