Delaware and New Jersey report solid growth in February

February was a pretty good month for east coast gambling, as both New Jersey and Delaware report growth in revenue. The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (NJDGE) and Delaware Lottery released their monthly figures on March 13.

Sports wagering continues to improve year over year in New Jersey, but took a slide from January. Revenues came in at $17 million, 33.8% higher than the $12.7 million last year. This figure was also 68.3% down from January’s strong $53.6 million.

This figure came from $494.8 million in total volume, 54.4% better year over year. $436.5m of that came online, with $58.3 million at retail sportsbooks. Total handle for 2020 so far has surpassed $1 billion.

For individual operators, Meadowlands was king with $11 million in revenue, a 35.8% yearly improvement. Resorts Digital brought in $4 million, Monmouth Park $1.2 million, and the Golden Nugget posted a loss of $444,311.
