But while an encouraging sign of post-pandemic recovery, she warned the “modest performance” may not be enough to offset recent increases in operating expenses. “Gross gaming revenues earned from slots, table games and poker have struggled in recent months to meet 2019 revenue levels,” said Jane Bokunewicz, director of the Lloyd Levenson Institute at Stockton University, which studies the Atlantic City gambling market, as reported by Associated Press.īokunewicz noted that year-to-date in-person revenue, which totals $2.57 billion, exceeded the same period in 2021 and the same pre-pandemic period ending in November 2019, which was $2.48 billion. However, only two of them won more money last month from these customers when compared to November 2019, which remains a source of concern for the New Jersey casino industry. The data shows the destination’s nine casinos collectively took in $214.5 million from in-person gamblers – an increase of 3.7% from November 2021. As for total gaming revenue, including online and sports betting, it amounted to $441 million, a 0.3% increase from a year earlier. However, most of them continue to trail the levels at which they were performing before the Covid-19 pandemic hit. Atlantic City’s casinos won nearly 4% more from in-person gamblers in November than they did a year earlier, according to figures released Friday by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, at $214.5 million.
