Atlantic City’s hot gaming tables lift February’s casino revenue

Atlantic City casinos enjoyed an overall double-digit gaming revenue gain in February, although there were more individual casino losers than winners.

On Wednesday, New Jersey’s Division of Gaming Enforcement revealed that Atlantic City’s nine casinos reported total brick-and-mortar slots and table game revenue of $196.7m in February, up 15.7% year-on-year and nearly $20m better than January’s result.

February’s slots revenue was up 12.4% to $139.5 while table games jumped by nearly one-quarter to a little over $57.1m.

February’s numbers look even gaudier when you include the nearly $3.9m the casinos earned from their sports betting operations and the $31.75m earned by their online casino and poker operations. All told, the casinos’ overall gaming revenue was up 21% to $232.3m.
