Oct 13, 2026, 09:45 ET Garage Beer, Kingsford, Steven Singer and TrueFan Travel are teaming up to give one lucky Philly couple the ultimate tailgate wedding on October 26 PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - The wedding is officially on. After opening the doors for Philly couples to enter for the chance to win a one-of-a-kind wedding, Garage Beer has selected the lucky couple who will say "I do" at the Tailgate Wedding of the Century on October 26 at the TrueFan Tailgate in Philadelphia. And because this is Philly, Garage Beer is making sure this is no ordinary wedding. The very Philly wedding will feature music by Delco Donny, and Philly Pops, while The Meat Teacher, Matt Groark will be cooking up tailgate essentials over Kingsford charcoal for all guests in attendance. Garage Beer Classic and Lime will be flowing throughout the tailgate to wash it all down. The couple will also receive a $2,000 gift card for wedding rings provided by Steven Singer, and Garage Beer is partnering with Ocean Casino Resort to give the newlyweds an incredible honeymoon experience, along with a second trip in 2027. A group of surprise celebrity guests will be on site to make the day even more special, including Beau Allen and more. "Garage Beer is all about bringing people together. When we first started this thing, it was literally about two things: creating the best light beer on the planet and embodying the spirit of light beer by creating a sense of community." says Garage Beer Founder Andy Sauer. "Along the way, and I'm not sure why, we started getting tons of wedding invites every month which has been a very rewarding way to stay close to our community. Philly has always been an incredible supporter of Garage Beer. We've shot commercials here, had red carpet premieres, and had some amazing times at Eagles tailgates. We are excited to bring people together, in a very Garage Beer way and there is no better place than in the City of Brotherly Love." But the celebration doesn't stop with the wedding. Garage Beer is bringing even more Philly flavor to the city with a slate of special activations and limited-edition releases: * Jordan Spector-curated Philly Edition 15pk Limited Release - Available starting November 1 across the city, the limited-edition pack was designed by Philly artist Jordan Spector as part of Garage Beer's latest Philly-exclusive collection. * On October 25, Garage Beer will team up with Spector for a Sip & Shop at Jawn Supply, in West Chester, Pennsylvania, where fans can grab a limited run of hats and shirts designed exclusively for the occasion. If you aren't luck enough to get your hands on one at the launch event, Garage Beer will continue to drop limited quantities throughout the year. * Delco Donny's Tailgate Karaoke launches next Sunday at the stadium complex, giving Philly fans a chance to grab a mic, grab a Garage and show the city what they've got. * Jason Kelce-inspired "62 Pack" - Yes, that's 62 beers in one case.

Ocean Casino plans $14M expansion of The Cove slots. Ocean Casino plans $14M expansion of The Cove slots vanja mitic october 2, 2026 latest casino and gambling news. Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey, will invest $14 million to expand and redesign The Cove, its high-limit slot area, with the upgraded space expected to open in early 2027. The project will increase The Cove from 7,450 square feet to 11,935 square feet and raise its gaming inventory from more than 140 machines to over 192. The enlarged venue will sit next to the resort's Asian Table Games area. The new lineup will feature products from Aristocrat, Light & Wonder, IGT and other manufacturers, covering slots, linked games, progressive-style titles and video poker. Ocean said the investment responds to demand for high-limit slot play and forms part of a wider effort to increase the resort's overall slot inventory. "This transformation of The Cove is another significant investment in the future of Ocean Casino Resort and the experiences we deliver to our guests," Ocean Casino Resort General Manager Bill Callahan said. "We've expanded the space while elevating every aspect of the environment, from the design and gaming offerings to the service and amenities, resulting in a sophisticated and distinctly Ocean experience that reflects the level of quality our high-limit guests have come to expect from us." The Cove adds more gaming and guest amenities. The redesigned space will combine the larger gaming floor with services aimed at high-limit customers. Planned additions include specialized cocktail service, lounge seating, dedicated restrooms and cashier booths. Players will also have access to an expanded beverage menu delivered directly while they play. Ocean described the concept as balancing "the energy of the casino floor with the comfort, privacy and service of a luxury lounge." The location beside the Asian Table Games area will also place The Cove close to another recently expanded gaming section. Ocean doubled that space to 8,000 square feet, with capacity for 32 tables including baccarat and Pai Gow Poker. The Cove's redesign will draw on Ocean Casino Resort's Boardwalk setting. According to NJ.com, the interior will use fluid architectural forms and wave-inspired details, with soft neutral tones, light oak finishes, marble, brushed-gold accents and layered shades of blue. Ocean said the palette is intended to add "warmth and sophistication" while maintaining a visual connection to the Atlantic Ocean. The design changes will accompany the larger slot floor and new service areas rather than altering The Cove's focus on high-limit gaming. Expansion builds on premium gaming portfolio. The Cove forms part of Ocean's existing higher-end casino offering. The resort also operates a High Limit Table Games area and The Loft, a private 2,000-square-foot gaming suite on the 44th floor with butler service, a bar and floor-to-ceiling ocean views. The $14 million project will extend that premium offering by giving The Cove more floor space, additional machines and dedicated hospitality features. Ocean expects the transformed venue to open in early 2027.

Ocean announced on Thursday, Oct. 1, that the resort is transforming and enlarging The Cove. The high-limit slot lounge is moving to an 11,935-square-foot space located between the Asian Table Games area and the High-Limit Table Games room. Set to open early next year, the new Cove will expand from approximately 140 slots to 192 gaming machines. The venue will feature dedicated sitting areas and an interior design that "takes its cues from the ocean just beyond the property's Boardwalk setting." "This transformation of The Cove is another significant investment in the future of Ocean Casino Resort and the experiences we deliver to our guests," said Ocean Casino Resort General Manager Bill Callahan, adding that the expanded lounge will offer a "sophisticated and distinctly Ocean experience." VIP focus. Ocean Casino Resort has heavily invested in appealing to Atlantic City high rollers. The Cove is a major component of its VIP focus, with the high-limit slots lounge reserved for Reserve, Prime, and Preferred Ocean Rewards cardholders Sunday through Thursday, and Reserve and Prime members Friday through Saturday. The Cove allows high rollers to keep their play going without interruption when they hit jackpots up to $39,999. Through The Cove's "Self-Pay" program, a slots player can automatically have the jackpot funded to their bankroll on the same machine. When the player decides to stop playing, a slot attendant closes their Self-Pay session. The Cove isn't the only gaming space at Ocean restricted for VIPs. Forty-four stories above the Boardwalk is The Loft, a private 2,000-square-foot luxury gaming suite with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The Loft is accessible only by invitation and comes with a full-service complimentary bar, dedicated butler service, and a personal security detail. Corporate ownership & market share. In June, Ocean Casino Resort became fully owned by the billionaire Ilitch family, whose fortune stems from the late Mike Ilitch and his wife, Marian, founding Little Caesars. With the transaction, Ilitch Companies announced a new holding company for its casinos, Ilitch Gaming. Along with Ocean, Ilitch Gaming owns and operates MotorCity Casino Hotel in Detroit and Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort in Mississippi. Through August, Ocean Casino reported gross gaming revenue (GGR) of $329.9 million from its slot machines and table games, a 5.4% gain on the prior year. Ocean is one of only three casinos in Atlantic City to report higher GGR year-to-date. Ocean generated the third-most GGR behind Borgata at $556.7 million and Hard Rock at $376.4 million.
