Atlantic City Casinos Win $506 Million in July

Over half a billion dollars was won by New Jersey casinos in July, an increase of 5.3% from last year. The month was good, according to the recent New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement figures. The revenue was generated from casino gaming, sports betting, and racetracks. In total, gambling services in the Garden State brought in $506.2 million. Add in online wagering and the total jumps to $3.23 billion, an increase of 11%!

For July, the online gambling win came in at just over $155 million. This was a growth rate of 13.5% when compared to last year’s $136.7 million. So far this year, the online industry has brought in $109 billion. This is growth of over 14% from the same time in 2022.

Players are still logging online in record numbers to enjoy online slots, table games, live dealer, and more. There are so many options in play, which gives members a variety of gaming to pick from. Online casino operators continue to add new games so their player pool will return again and again to experience more games.

Online operations have not slowed down over the past year and are not expected to. We do see the occasional dip in earnings, but for the most part, the iGaming sector continues to be on the up and up as more options are offered and players continue to log online to play.

As far as individual operators are concerned, the Borgata Casino ended up with the highest earnings. The brand brought in $127 million, which is an almost 3% increase from last year. The casino believes the strong revenues were based on recent developments within the hotel, including renovations within the MGM Tower and the former Water Club hotel. There is also a new high-limit slots lounge and dining options.

Hard Rock came in second, bringing in over $62 million. This was an increase of around 5%. The Golden Nugget generated close to $54 million, and the Ocean Casino came in at $42.4 million. Tropicana earned just over $32 million.

Harrah’s and Caesars brought in $25.2 million and $25.1 million, with Harrah’s down about 4.2% and Caesars dropping 1.5%. Bally’s was up over 16% from last year with $24.1 million in earnings. Resort Casino Hotel was down over 16% though, with only $15.3 million in earnings. 
For online gaming, Resorts Digital brought in over $59 million. Caesars Entertainment Interactive experienced a large dip in earnings, with an almost 22% drop to $8.5 million.
