The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement released revenue figures for November internet gaming. The results were mixed. The difference can be attributed to a win of $1.3 million by a lucky HarrahsCasino.com player on the Millionaire Genie game.
Online poker revenue came in at $1.9 million, a drop of just under 5% from October. Casino games posted a win of $8.7 million, down about 8%. The loss was entirely due to the massive jackpot win.
The Borgata/Party partnership continued to hold its number one position in New Jersey with revenue of $3.4 million. Tropicana was second with $2.2 million in casino win. Golden Nugget earned $1.5 million, while Caesars Interactive posted a win of $1.1 million.
Betfair moved to Golden Nugget’s license on November 21. It dropped online poker from its list of games available on December 1. The Caesars Interactive numbers reflect the $1.3 slot jackpot.
