Casino visitors and day-trippers can buy as long as they are 21 and carry a government-issued ID from any state or country. 2 stores also serve registered medical patients. Three shops stay open until 2 a.m., which suits a town that runs late.

Nearly every store sits within a few blocks of the Boardwalk, on streets whose names Monopoly players will know: Atlantic Avenue, Pacific Avenue, Park Place, Indiana Avenue, New York Avenue and Tennessee Avenue. Two stores here were among the first four the CRC approved for consumption areas.
