Atlantic City gaming revenue was up over four percent in May 2017 compared to the same month a year ago. With numerous events planned over the next 90 days, the strong kickoff to the summer is precisely what the New Jersey oceanfront city needed. Casino win for the seven remaining gaming properties totaled $229.4 million. When the shuttered Trump Taj Mahal’s 2016 May earnings are excluded, the casinos were up 12 percent. “A great start to the summer,” New Jersey Casino Control Commission Chairman Matthew Levinson told the Associated Press. “With all of the events planned around the city for the summer, I anticipate we will see casino revenues continue to increase.” The Borgata once again led the way with $71.9 million, a nearly 11 percent surge. Tropicana, which continues to benefit from the Taj Mahal’s closing, came in a distant second at $32.8 million.
