Deifik was killed in a car accident in April 2019.
Luxor, which was one of his lenders, assumed ownership of the casino in return for canceling Deifik's debt.
When it was known as Revel, the casino never came close to turning a profit, went bankrupt twice, and closed in 2014, one of four Atlantic City casinos to do so that year.Ĭolorado developer Bruce Deifik bought it in January 2018, and reopened it that summer. “There's no doubt this property has turned around in so many areas,” Commissioner Alisa Cooper said.
