Three of Atlantic City’s land-based casinos enjoy positive June
Atlantic City’s nine casinos generated in-person casino win of $259m in June, showing an increase of 6.1 per cent from last year with Borgata, Caesars Atlantic City, and Ocean Casino Resort all showing growth in June.
Revenue from table games increased 26.9 per cent to $76.2m, while slot revenue dipped slightly by 0.7 per cent to $182.8m. Borgata’s in-person gambling was up 19.4 per cent, Caesars showed growth of 7.4 per cent whilst Ocean saw an increase of 30.1 per cent. Other casinos fell with Bally’s Atlantic City down 18.2 per cent.
Overall, New Jersey’s gambling businesses claimed an 18.5 per cent year-over-year increase in June to reach $581.6m.
Casino Control Commission Chairman James T. Plousis said: “Clearly, the Atlantic City gaming industry remains not only a very powerful economic engine, but also a significant contributor to New Jersey’s programs benefitting senior citizens and the disabled.”
Jane Bokunewicz, director of the Lloyd D. Levenson Institute of Gaming, Hospitality and Tourism at Stockton University, added: “June’s six per cent year-over-year increase is an encouraging sign for Atlantic City’s casino operators, especially since there was one less Saturday in the month this year compared to 2024. The increase continues the momentum of May’s nearly 11% year-over-year increase in total (brick-and-mortar) casino win.
“The positive revenue growth in brick-and-mortar win so far this summer has offset revenue declines in the first quarter resulting in a tailwind of a 1.7 per cent year-over-year increase year to date heading into the peak summer tourism season. While this month’s brick-and-mortar returns are positive, it is important to note that the largest gains (nearly 27 per cent year-over-year) came from the table games side of operations leaving slot operations (usually the industry’s “bread and butter”) essentially flat at a decline of 0.7 per cent year over year. Because of the general volatility of table games revenue, it is unclear if this month’s gains were because of increased spending or because of the comparative luck of the players vs. the house.
She added: “Internet gaming revenues continue to climb, and while June 2025 did not set a new record for single-month, internet gaming revenue, its performance sits comfortably in the top five for single month returns. Atlantic City casinos and their partners realised a 23.5 per cent year-over-year increase for the month and a 22.7 per cent year-over-year increase for the year to date.”
“Aided by the updraft of internet gaming and a respectable showing from sports wagering (win was on par with last month, despite a slight decrease in handle), Atlantic City continued a trend of positive total gross gaming revenue gains. Those gains will be important to sustain with the imminent expansion of casinos in downstate New York.”
Sports betting revenues hit $91.9m in June, showing a 52.9 per cent increase from the $60.1m set in June 2024.
