People walk on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City N.J., on June 15, 2023. It was widely credited with helping Atlantic City's casinos stay afloat during 3 1/2 months of shutdowns in 2020 at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as in the lean months that followed the casinos reopening, as many gamblers remained wary of venturing out to crowded indoor spaces.
