The jury agreed a federal sting that ensnared the executives was entrapment, The Press of Atlantic City reported.
Cleared were Joseph Rahi, a player development director; and Charbel Fleifel, a marketing executive.
They were accused of money laundering and causing Showboat to file false currency transaction reports with the federal government.
