Atlantic City casinos took a hit in the third quarter of the year, as operating profits declined by nearly 14%. According to the Press of Atlantic City, the state Division of Gaming Enforcement issued statistics showing the nine casinos had a collective gross operating profit of $236.5 million in the third quarter. That was down 13.8% from the third quarter of 2023. Although all nine casinos were profitable in the third quarter, only two — Caesars Atlantic City and Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City — saw their operating profits increase compared to a year earlier.
