Atlantic City casino revenue declined in August after a stronger July. 

The casinos generated a combined $294.9 million, down 5.5% from $311.9 million in August 2025, according to results published by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement on Sept. 16.

Revenue from slots and table games both fell. Borgata Atlantic City was the only casino to record year-over-year growth.

Despite the weaker month, Atlantic City casinos remain ahead of last year’s pace. Retail revenue reached $2.01 billion through August, an increase of 1.8%.

Table games fuel Borgata’s August growth 

Borgata remained Atlantic City’s top-performing casino and widened its lead over the rest of the market. Revenue increased 6.4% to $85.4 million, accounting for nearly 29% of the citywide total.

The improvement came from table games, which produced $26.2 million for Borgata, up 29.9% from last August. Slot revenue slipped 1.5% to $59.2 million.

Hard Rock Atlantic City ranked second with $53.1 million, down 9% year over year. Ocean Casino Resort followed with $44.5 million after posting the market’s largest year-over-year decline at 13%. 

Tropicana Atlantic City generated $24.5 million, followed by Harrah’s at $23.1 million and Caesars at $22.5 million. Resorts reported $16 million, while Golden Nugget and Bally’s Atlantic City each finished just below $13 million.

Resorts and Tropicana joined Borgata as the only casinos to improve their table game results. Resorts’ table revenue climbed 54.6% to $2.3 million, but a decline from slots left its overall revenue 1.2% lower. Tropicana’s table win rose 1.2%, while its total fell 5.5%.

Slots and table games both decline

Atlantic City casinos generated $222.4 million from slots in August, down 5.1% from $234.3 million a year earlier.

Table game revenue fell 6.5% to $72.5 million from $77.6 million. The declines followed a stronger July, when growth from both segments pushed total casino revenue 7.1% higher year over year.

All nine casinos reported lower slot revenue than last August. Table game gains at Borgata, Resorts, and Tropicana were not enough to offset declines at the other six properties. Total casino revenue also fell 3.1% from July’s $304.2 million. 

Harrah’s experienced the second-largest year-over-year decline in August, falling 12.7%. Bally’s and Golden Nugget were each down 10.3%, while Caesars declined 9.2%.

Atlantic City remains ahead through August

Slot revenue reached $1.48 billion through August, up 1.4%, while table games generated $532.7 million, an increase of 2.9%.

Borgata leads the market with $556.7 million in year-to-date revenue, up 3.6%. Hard Rock ranks second at $376.4 million, followed by Ocean at $329.9 million.

Caesars has posted the strongest percentage growth through August, with revenue increasing 10.9% to $158.5 million. Ocean recorded the second-largest increase among Atlantic City casinos at 5.4%.

Retail casino revenue also remained ahead of New Jersey online casino revenue in August. Internet gaming generated $259.3 million, about $35.6 million below Atlantic City’s total.
