In-Person Gaming Down AGAIN For Most Atlantic City Casinos

No matter how much sports betting and online gaming grows, IN-PERSON visits to the nine Atlantic City casinos are the most important metric of success.

NJ Division of Gaming Enforcement just reported:

July 2024 IN-PERSON gaming revenue decreased 6% from July 2023.

• Slot winnings down almost 5%
• Table games fell hard by 10%.

Atlantic City Casino revenue fell 2nd year in row.

Borgata was down 3.3% from last year (2023). Harrah’s suffered biggest loss with year-over-year drop of almost 24%. See complete casino financials below.

Casino Control Commission: While casinos saw their highest revenue numbers in a over decade, that was almost exclusively thanks to internet gambling. (Too bad very little of that revenue makes it’s way to Atlantic City coffers or small business owners.)

What’s hurting The Atlantic City Economy?

• Teen crime and homelessness.
• Open drinking, marijuana usage on boardwalk.
• Showboat water park financial issues.
• Small businesses exit. Carluccio’s Stockton campus, Good Dog Bar.
• City not business-friendly. Permitting process slow and frustrating.

Councilman Tibbitt says Atlantic City is Dangerous.

Listen:

Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small supported DEFUND POLICE movement. Small spent millions of taxpayer dollars on ineffective programs that hire ex-felons for public safety duties.

AC SURF SCHOOL announced they are moving their SURF KIDS CAMPS to Ventnor. Owner of AC Surf School says Atlantic City is NOT SAFE these days, especially for children. Drug addicts wander the beach and boardwalk; trash strewn and crime / shootings daily. The elected officials in AC and the State should be ashamed.

Wind turbine companies will soon industrialize city beaches, coastal waters, neighborhoods and playgrounds.

Legal deep water for AC Mayor Marty Small and wife, Laquetta, the school district superintendent. Both charged with violent abuse of their teenage daughter. Pending court date scheduled.
