Four of the 12 casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey, are due to close unless they find buyers.

One of those is the Revel Casino Resort. Hard Rock International, which is owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida, has expressed interest in the facility if the price is right, a top executive has said.

Gaming revenues in Atlantic City have fallen $2.8 billion since 2006, The New York Times reported. Gamblers who used to go there now have options closer to home in Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland and New York.
