Sports Betting Helps Revenues Rise for Atlantic City Casinos in 2018

2018 was a good year for Atlantic City’s casinos with revenue up 7.5 percent last year thanks to half a year of sports betting and two reopened casinos.

Sports betting saw the casinos and two racetracks take in $1.24 billion since the first wagers were taken in June. For the less than six months that sports betting was legal last year, it generated just over $94 million in revenue for casinos and tracks.
