Atlantic City casinos hold ground with their revenues as online surges ahead

June’s land-based total was still the second best of 2026 so far

Atlantic City’s nine casinos felt a decline in revenues in June, for only the second time in 2026, with the $257.3m total representing a 0.7 per cent decline. June still came in as the second-best, land-based total of the year so far, behind May’s total of $265.6m.

The month saw Atlantic City’s land-based slot revenue increase by 1.7 per cent year-on-year, with table games falling by 6.4 per cent. Borgata remained the clear market leader despite revenues falling by six per cent to US$78m. Hard Rock, Borgata’s closest challenger, was up by one per cent with US$46m. The biggest climber was Harrah’s with an increase of 15 per cent.

So far this year, Atlantic City’s brick-and-mortar gaming industry has increased by 2.3 per cent, with remote gambling surging by 16 per cent, taking it to US$19.7m. The biggest faller was Golden Nugget with revenues dropping by 10.3 per cent to US$10.4m.

Figures released by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement showed that remote gaming increased by 17.5 per cent compared to June 2025’s figures. Atlantic City has 28 active skins, which generated $271m, getting close to the record set in May. This generated tax of $60.4m, eclipsing tax raised by land-based casinos at $18.9m and sports betting at $12.4m.

Golden Nugget’s partnership with FanDuel Casino was the best online performer, bringing in $62.5m, an increase of 17.2 per cent from last year.

DraftKings Casino was in second place with $47.1m, an increase of eight per cent, but third-place BetMGM saw a revenue surge of 17.3 per cent to close in with $35.4m.
