Atlantic City casinos post strongest July revenue in 14 years
Nine Atlantic City properties reported record gaming revenue for July, marking their best monthly performance since 2012.
Atlantic City's casino market posted its strongest July performance in over a decade, according to reporting from state gaming regulators. The nine licensed casinos in the area generated $304.2 million in gross gaming revenue during the month, surpassing comparable figures from any July since 2012. The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement released the figures, which reflect winnings from both slot machine and table game operations at physical locations.
The July surge represents a 7.1% increase compared to the same month in the prior year, suggesting momentum building during the summer season. The result comes after what industry observers described as a slower start to the summer months at Atlantic City properties.
The benchmark represents encouraging growth for a regional casino market that has faced ongoing competition from newer gaming destinations and online platforms. Atlantic City remains a significant gaming hub in the Northeast, drawing players from surrounding states.
