Atlantic City casino revenue declined in September despite gains at five of the city’s nine properties.
The casinos generated a combined $227.8 million, down 1.3% from $230.7 million in September 2025, according to results published by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement on Oct. 19.
Higher slot revenue was outweighed by a sharp decline at the tables.
Despite the weaker month, Atlantic City casinos remained ahead of last year’s pace. Casino revenue has reached $2.24 billion through September, an increase of 1.4% from the same period in 2025.
Table game decline outweighs slot growth
Slot machines generated $177.9 million in September, an increase of 4.6% year over year. Seven of the nine casinos posted slot gains, with Caesars Atlantic City recording the largest percentage increase at 12.4%.
Table game revenue fell 17.6% to $49.9 million, with five properties reporting declines. The tables brought in approximately $10.7 million less than a year earlier, outweighing the $7.7 million increase from slots.
Borgata Atlantic City accounted for much of that weakness. Its table game revenue dropped 48.1% to $9 million, a decline of nearly $8.4 million compared with September 2025.
Borgata retains lead as Ocean closes on Hard Rock
Borgata finished September with $55.7 million in casino revenue, down 11.3%. Its slot revenue increased 2.9% to $46.7 million.
Borgata’s total casino revenue fell by roughly $7.1 million. The other eight properties collectively gained about $4.1 million, limiting the citywide decline to $2.9 million.
Hard Rock Atlantic City held second place with $43.5 million, down 4.3% year over year. A slight increase in slot revenue was outweighed by a 15.6% drop at its tables.
Ocean Atlantic City increased revenue 7.6% to $42.6 million, narrowing its gap with Hard Rock to approximately $827,000 from $5.8 million a year earlier. Growth came from both slots and table games, with Ocean leading the city in table game revenue at $14.8 million.
Harrah’s posts the strongest percentage gain
Harrah’s Atlantic City recorded the largest percentage increase, rising 12.7% to $18.5 million. Table game revenue climbed 43.5% to $3.7 million, while slots increased 6.9% to $14.7 million.
Tropicana Atlantic City also improved in both categories, lifting its casino revenue 9.3% to $17.7 million. Caesars generated $17.3 million, up 4.3%, as its slot growth overcame a decline at the tables.
Golden Nugget Atlantic City edged up 0.3% to just under $10 million. Resorts Atlantic City and Bally’s Atlantic City moved in the opposite direction, falling 3.7% to $13.1 million and 7.4% to $9.4 million, respectively.
Only three casinos post year-to-date growth
Casino revenue through September was approximately $31.8 million higher than in the same period last year. However, only three properties had increased revenue over that period.
Borgata led with $612.4 million, up 2.1%, while Ocean reached $372.5 million, an increase of 5.6%.
Caesars had the strongest percentage growth through September, rising 10.2% to $175.8 million. Its table game revenue was up 23%, while slots increased 6%.
Hard Rock had the smallest decline at 0.6%, while Golden Nugget recorded the largest decrease at 4.2%.
Across the city, both slots and tables remained ahead for the nine-month period, increasing 1.7% and 0.7%, respectively.
