NJTV Series | Clip | Voices from Atlantic City Part 1: The Promise

In 1976, Atlantic City became the first place outside Nevada to legalize casinos. Voices from Atlantic City tells the story of the rise and fall of the gambling mecca from the perspective of local stakeholders - card dealers, cocktail waitresses, construction workers and others who lost their jobs or are hanging on to them by a thread, yet still manage to have hope for the future.
