The Tropicana Casino and Resort in Atlantic City has laid off 50 supervisors.
It's the latest Atlantic City casino to cut jobs due to the worsening economy, joining the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, Resorts Atlantic City, and the four casinos run by Harrah's Entertainment.
In 2007, no Atlantic City casino laid off more workers than the Tropicana. The former owners slashed nearly 1,000 jobs, but the resulting problems with cleanliness and service led to the loss of their casino license.
Since then, interim management has tried to rebuild the staff, bringing back at least 150 of the workers who had been let go in 2007.
