The New Jersey-controlled online casinos have started out this year with a bang. According to figures from state regulators, the internet betting industry in the Garden State generated $22 million during February, an increase of 17.5 percent compared to the $18.7 million won from the gamblers in February 2017.
Through the first two months of 2018, internet gaming revenue of $44 million was up 17.1 percent compared to the $37.5 million won during the same period a year earlier. As has been the trend for many, many months, the house-banked online casino games carried the industry.
More than $40 million of the $44 million in early 2018 revenue came from games other than peer-to-peer, traditional online poker. That figure represented an increase of 21.8 percent compared to the first two months of 2017.
