The revenue total for 2019 marks the first time that casinos in Atlantic City have won over $3b from gamblers since 2012. By 2014, the region was plagued with problems as four casinos shut down and thousands of jobs were lost. Another casino closed by 2016, leaving only seven in operation. New Jersey’s casinos won nearly $3.3 billion from gamblers in 2019, the first time since 2012 that the Atlantic City gambling halls had won more than $3 billion, according to figures released Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2020, by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement. Month after month, Atlantic City casino gaming revenue continues to grow. November 2019 proved no exception. In fact, as reported in a Dec. 13 article on PressofAtlanticCity.com, according to the latest reports from the Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE), the nine Atlantic City casinos achieved a new milestone in November. January 2019 marked the eighth straight month of growth for the Atlantic City casino industry and seventh consecutive month of double-digit percentage increases in total gaming revenue. ’2019 is off to a solid start for Atlantic City,’ said Kevin Ortzman, president of the Casino Association of New Jersey and regional president of Caesars. Atlantic City casinos may look like they’re holding a hot hand, with slots and table game revenue jumping 15.7% in February from last year, but only Caesars Entertainment and Resorts Casino Hotel.

Ocean Resort is the former Revel, which closed in 2014; Hard Rock is the former Trump Taj Mahal, which closed two years later. Both reopened the same day last year, June 27.
After a brutal stretch that saw five casinos shut down between 2014 and 2016, Atlantic City had been doing reasonably well as a slimmed-down market with less competition and a boost from internet gambling. Increased competition from casinos in neighboring states including Pennsylvania and New York cannibalized Atlantic City’s casino revenue, helping lead to the shut downs.
When plans were announced for Hard Rock and Ocean Resort to open, elation about the restored jobs, tax revenue and additional weekend hotel rooms was tempered by concern that Atlantic City might be making the same mistake twice in having more casinos than the market can support.
James Plousis, chairman of the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, noted that 2018 was the third straight year that Atlantic City’s gambling revenue increased. But he did note the impact on the older casinos from the arrival of the two newcomers.
’While the city had a good year, market adjustments from competition occurred and will continue into 2019,’ he said in a news release. ’The continuing strength of internet gaming plus a growing sports wagering market will provide the industry with tools to compete.’
Of Atlantic City’s seven casinos that operated before the two new additions last year, only the Golden Nugget showed a revenue increase for the year. It was up 13.7 percent to $327.8 million.
Even the Borgata, Atlantic City’s perennial market leader, saw its casino revenue decline in 2018. It was down 4 percent to $771.1 million.
Tropicana was down 2.5 percent to nearly $381 million, but it remained the city’s No. 2 casino in terms of gambling revenue.
Resorts was down 3.3 percent to $184.2 million; Harrah’s was down 8.4 percent to almost $333 million; Bally’s was down 9.1 percent to nearly $192 million, and Caesars was down 13.5 percent to $281.3 million.
Hard Rock won $166.7 million from late June through the end of the year, while Ocean Resort won $101.1 million during that same period.
Ocean Resort changed hands last week, with an as-yet unannounced company assuming a majority ownership stake in it in return for making a $70 million investment to help keep it running. The ownership change was widely seen as another indication that the market was not ready for the kind of expansion it underwent last summer.Atlantic City Casino Revenue January 2019 Schedule
Internet gambling took in nearly $300 million last year, an increase of 21.6 percent over 2017 and one of the true bright spots for New Jersey’s gambling market. Of the two internet-only gambling entities in the state, Resorts Digital was up 76.3 percent to $75.7 million, and Caesars Interactive-NJ was up 5.9 percent to $45.5 million. The Golden Nugget won $104 million online last year, about twice what its nearest competitor, the Borgata, did.
Among racetracks offering sports betting, the Meadowlands earned $31.3 million in sports betting revenue, and Monmouth Park earned $12.4 million.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. —
Atlantic City’s casinos won almost $3.3 billion from gamblers in 2019, helped by surging sports and internet bets as the seaside resort continued to rebound from a mid-decade meltdown that saw five casinos close.
Figures released Tuesday by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement show the nine casinos collectively won $3.29 billion in 2019, an increase of over 15% from 2018.Atlantic City Casino Revenue January 2019 Printable
When an additional $300 million in sports betting revenue is added to the equation, the casinos and two racetracks that offer sports betting won $3.46 billion last year, a figure that does not include money from horse racing bets.
It marked the first year since 2012 that Atlantic City’s casinos had won more than $3 billion from gamblers.
That was right before a brutal stretch from 2014 to 2016 that saw five of the then-12 casinos shut down, and more than 11,000 jobs lost.
The reopening in 2018 of the former Trump Taj Mahal as Hard Rock and the former Revel as the Ocean Casino Resort has brought added revenue and jobs to the market.Atlantic City Casino Revenue January 2019 Holiday
But those same two new casinos also are diluting the profitability of the seven casinos that were in business before they reopened. For the first three quarters of 2019, the nine casinos reported a cumulative gross operating profit of $484 million, down 4.5% from the same period in 2018.
“The revenue increase is a positive,” said David Schwartz, a gambling historian with the University of Nevada Las Vegas. “Right now the industry should be in ‘grow-the-market’ mode rather than seeking to consolidate profits, so a decrease in profits isn’t necessarily the worst news we could get. Overall, what Atlantic City needs right now is to improve its image and marketing and become a destination in a crowded Northeast casino market.”
Rummy Pandit, a gambling analyst with Stockton University, said Atlantic City has successfully diversified its gambling offerings, particularly through sports betting and internet gambling. Those two products, developed since November 2013, now account for more than 18% of Atlantic City’s winnings, he said.Atlantic City Casino Revenue January 2019 2020
The news was not all positive. Five of the nine casinos won less money in 2019 than they did in 2018. Tropicana was down 8.2% to $349.5 million; Harrah’s was down 6.1% to $312.6 million; Bally’s was down 5.4% to $181.5 million; Caesars was down 3.7% to $270.9 million; and Resorts was down 3.2% to $178.4 million.
The Golden Nugget was up 15.4% to $378.4 million. It finished the year as the No. 2 casino in Atlantic City in terms of revenue. The perennial leader, Borgata, was up 3.5% to $797.8 million.
There was no year-to-year comparison for the newest casinos, which had not been open for a full year in 2018. For 2019, Hard Rock won $350 million, and Ocean won $238 million.
New Jersey had a banner year at sports betting, with nearly $4.6 billion wagered on pro and college games.
The state won a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case in 2018, clearing the way for all 50 states to offer legal sports betting should they so choose. Since the first bets were taken in New Jersey in June 2018, more than $5.8 billion has been wagered on sports, putting the state right behind Nevada in the race to lead the burgeoning market.

The Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford, just outside New York City, was the runaway leader in sports betting revenue with just under $150 million. It is partnered with the FanDuel sports book. The other racetrack to offer sports betting, Monmouth Park in Oceanport, won nearly $26 million in sports bets. Resorts Digital, which is affiliated with the DraftKings online sports book, won nearly $80 million on sports.
Internet gambling also continued to be a bright spot in 2019, with $482 million won online from gamblers, an increase of more than 61% over 2018. In the month of December, nearly $558 million was wagered on sports in New Jersey, the second-best month ever, trailing only November’s total of nearly $563 million.
