![]() The amount of money won from gamblers physically present on casino floors is the key metric for Atlantic City casino executives. That number was the highest in any July in over a decade, said James Plousis, chairman of the New Jersey Casino Control Commission. Total gambling revenue, including money from internet and sports betting at casinos and three horse racing tracks, was $506 million in July. “As is the nature of the gaming industry, there are always fluctuations in the monthly revenues and this 3% decline does not appear to be part of a lasting trend,” she said. Jane Bokunewicz, director of the Lloyd Levenson Institute at Stockton University, which studies the Atlantic City gambling industry, said the 3% dip is not particularly worrisome. The month was particularly good for Atlantic City's top-performing casino, the Borgata, which broke its own record for the most money any Atlantic City casino has ever won in a single month, with more than $127 million in casino, internet and sports betting winnings.īut the amount of money won from in-person gamblers at the nine casinos declined by 3% compared with a year ago, to less than $290 million. Atlantic City's casinos, the three New Jersey horse tracks that take sports bets, and their online partners won over half a billion dollars from gamblers in July, up 5.3% from a year earlier, figures released Wednesday show.
