US gaming companies are cutting their losses when it comes to the Atlantic City casino gambling industry. The existing casinos have experienced long periods of revenue decline, and any of the new developers have pulled out of the area after the economic recession.
Now, one of those developers, Pinnacle Entertainment, is preparing to sell their land for a dirt cheap price. The former location of the Sands Casino was purchased by Pinnacle back in 2006 for a whopping $260 million. The plan was to build a new casino resort that would revive the city.

The company has not acknowledged that figure, but there is speculation they want to move quickly.
