Atlantic City revenues soar in July

The summer is proving to be lucrative in Atlantic City where casinos reported an increase in gross gaming revenue in July.

The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement reported Atlantic City’s brick and mortar casino revenue for July late last week. According to the report combined revenue at Atlantic City’s nine casinos was up 4.3 percent when compared to July, 2024. The combined revenue of $284.1 million from the gaming floors was up $11.8 million.

Both table games and slot machines saw a revenue increase in July year-over-year. Revenue from table games was up 10 percent to $71.3 million, while slots revenue was up three percent to $212.8 million.

Through the first seven months of 2025 retail casino revenues were up 2.2 percent when compared to 2024. Total retail revenues came in at $1.66 billion through July.

One big surprise in July was that retail revenue exceeded revenues from iGaming. This was despite iGaming revenue coming in at an all-time monthly high of $247.3 million, a 27 precent increase from July, 2024.

Total revenue, combining retail and online gaming, and sports betting for July came in at $606.2 million. That was 11 percent higher than July, 2024 and only the second time in state history that Atlantic City revenue has exceeded $600 million in a single month.

One other interesting stat from the July report is that the revenue gains were widespread throughout Atlantic City, and not limited to the state’s casino market leaders, Borgata, Hard Rock, and Ocean. Bally’s, which has struggled to show gains recently, saw a six percent revenue increase, while Harrah’s had a similar revenue bump.

Resorts Casino was also in the black with a near 8.5 percent revenue increase.

The market leader’s increases ranged considerably with Borgata up five percent, Hard Rock up a marginally one percent, and Ocean up an astounding 18 percent due to a surge in table game winnings.

Only two of Atlantic City’s nine casino failed to post year-over-year revenue increases. Caesars reported a six percent decline when compared to 2024, while Tropicana was down one percent.
