The resort’s seven remaining brick-and-mortar casinos saw a 15 percent increase in revenues over January 2016, according to state gaming number released Tuesday afternoon.
Casino gaming revenue at the seven properties totaled $204.7 million, according to the state.
“A year ago I said Winter Storm Jonas, which paralyzed much of the eastern seaboard, was one reason why casino revenues fell in January of 2016,” said Matthew B. Levinson, chairman and CEO of the state Casino Control Commission. “The same storm that effectively wiped out a full weekend last year, is one of the big reasons why revenues for the current casinos jumped by 15.2 percent last month.”
Internet gambling revenue increased 29 percent in January totaling $18.8 million compared to 14.6 million in January 2016, according to state numbers.
