New Jersey’s casino and sports betting operators and their online partners won nearly $5.8 billion in 2023, setting a new record, figures released Tuesday show. Acording to the Press of Atlantic City, that’s up nearly 11% from a year earlier. Still, among Atlantic City’s nine casinos, two-thirds of which are still winning less money from in-person gamblers than they did before the COVID-19 pandemic.
The numbers released by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement show that the casinos, three horse tracks that have sports betting, and their online partners won $5.77 billion last year, surpassing the state’s all-time high of $5.2 billion reached in 2006 and matched last year.
