New Jersey’s regulated online gambling market was up nearly one-fifth in May although total revenue dipped slightly from the previous month.
New Jersey’s five licensed online gambling operations reported total revenue of $12.5m in May, up 19.1% from the same month last year but down 1.5% from April 2015’s total. Online casino revenue was up 28.7% year-on-year to $10.55m while poker fell 15.2% to $1.92m. For the year-to-date, the state’s online gambling market is up 12.6% to $60.3m, with casino games up 28% to $49.8m and poker down 28.3% to $10.5m.
The market-leading Borgata/Bwin.party/Pala Interactive combo reported online revenue of $3.96m, essentially unchanged from the previous month. The Borgata earned $2.86m from casino and $1.1m from poker, with each vertical also relatively unchanged from April’s results.
The Golden Nugget’s casino-only site generated $3.06m, down about 10% from April, but still nearly five times what the site generated in the same month last year.
