ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Thousands of newly laid-off casino workers are expected to turn out at the Atlantic City Convention Center for a mass unemployment filing.

The session this morning comes after a brutal weekend that saw more than 5,000 employees at the Showboat and Revel lose their jobs.

More than 100 work stations will be set up to accommodate the newly jobless dealers, cocktail servers and other workers.

Officials from the state Department of Labor and the main casino workers’ union, Local 54 of Unite-HERE, will help displaced workers file for unemployment.

By mid-September, four of the 12 casinos with which Atlantic City started the year will have closed, putting almost 8,000 people out of work.

Trump Plaza is closing Sept. 16, and the Atlantic Club shut down in January.

The unemployment session will be the most visible manifestation of the nearly eight-year downturn plaguing Atlantic City’s casino industry. Beset by ever-increasing competition in neighboring states, New Jersey’s casino revenues have fallen from a high of $5.2 billion in 2006 to $2.86 billion last year.
