Ocean Casino Resort Pranks Social Media with 'Oceans' Sign

Atlantic City — The Ocean Casino Resort, a staple in Atlantic City since its opening in 2018, has become the subject of an April Fool’s prank that played on years of name mispronunciations. For much of its existence, people have mistakenly called it “Oceans,” causing the casino to continuously correct the error. However, this time, they decided to embrace the mistake with a viral video showing the casino’s building adorned with the word “Oceans.” The video, posted to Instagram, was a digitally altered clip showing the new name projected onto the side of the building. This was made possible because the casino had recently removed the previous signage and planned to replace it with new lettering. The casino took advantage of this moment to add some humor to the situation. Fans and followers quickly caught onto the joke, commenting on how the mistake had persisted for years, especially in nearby areas like Philadelphia. Some joked about how adding the "S" to business names had become a local habit. The prank quickly gained traction, providing a lighthearted moment for the casino's followers, while also poking fun at the long-running mix-up.
