Atlantic City casinos turned in one of their strongest April performances in recent years, as retail demand remained resilient entering the busy summer season.
The city’s nine casino hotels posted an 11.7% year-over-year increase in casino wins during April compared to the same month in 2025, according to the New Jersey Casino Control Commission.
April’s revenue came in at $235.6 million, just below March’s $236.7 million, showing that retail demand remained relatively stable entering the spring tourism season.
Table game revenue up nearly 36%
Atlantic City’s brick-and-mortar casinos continued building on a solid start to 2026 during April.
Through the first four months of the year, casino win reached $888.5 million, up 3.9% compared to the same period in 2025.
Slot machines generated $169.4 million during April, representing a 4.4% year-over-year increase. Table games produced the month’s biggest gains, surging 35.7% to $66.2 million.
The sharp rise in table game revenue helped keep Atlantic City near March’s levels despite the typical seasonal slowdown between winter and summer traffic.
Borgata leads while Ocean keeps climbing
Borgata remained Atlantic City’s top-performing property in April, generating $67 million in revenue, up 14.5% year over year.
Hard Rock followed with $45.3 million, while Ocean Casino Resort continued posting some of the city’s fastest growth at $36.6 million, up 19.5%.
Caesars also delivered one of the strongest year-over-year increases during the month. The property generated $19.3 million in casino winnings, rising 31.9% from April 2025 after a major jump in table game play.
Most Atlantic City casinos finished April in positive territory. Golden Nugget was the only property to post a decline, slipping 3% to $10.7 million.
Summer season approaching
April is traditionally considered a transition month before Atlantic City enters its busiest tourism stretch of the year.
Stockton University gaming analyst Jane Bokunewicz said both retail and online gaming posted double-digit growth during April, even as Atlantic City operators continue facing increasing regional competition.
Beach travel, entertainment events, and seasonal tourism typically bring heavier foot traffic to Atlantic City during the summer months.
If those trends hold, casinos could receive another boost as the Jersey Shore heads into its peak season.
