The opening of two new casino properties, the introduction of legalized sports betting and the continuous growth of internet wagering all contributed to a total gaming revenue increase of nearly 8 percent in 2018 compared to the prior year, according to figures released Monday by state regulators.
The resort’s nine casino properties reported $2.86 billion in revenue in 2018, a 7.5 percent increase over 2017. Casino Control Commission Chairman James Plousis noted 2018 was the third consecutive year of revenue growth for the Atlantic City casino industry.
