New Jersey’s gaming sector recorded an 18.4% year-over-year increase in June 2025, with total revenue reaching $581.6 million across land-based casinos, internet gaming, and sports wagering, according to the latest figures released by the Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE). This positive momentum builds on strong second-quarter trends, with all three verticals reporting annual growth despite a slightly slower pace than May’s record-setting performance.

Casino revenue holds steady as iGaming accelerates:

Revenue from Atlantic City’s nine casino hotels totaled $259 million for the month, reflecting a 6.1% increase over June 2024. Table games were a key driver, climbing 26.9% to $76.2 million, while slot revenue dipped slightly by 0.7% to $182.8 million. Despite one fewer Saturday compared to last year, the land-based casino sector maintained solid summer momentum.

Jane Bokunewicz of the Lloyd D. Levenson Institute of Gaming, Hospitality and Tourism commented, “June’s 6% year-over-year increase is an encouraging sign for Atlantic City’s casino operators, especially since there was one less Saturday in the month this year compared to 2024.” She noted that consistent brick-and-mortar performance in May and June has helped offset early-year losses.

Among properties, Borgata led the pack with $76.7 million in revenue, up 19.4% from last year. Ocean Casino Resort saw the biggest gain, rising 30.1% to $43.5 million. Caesars Atlantic City also improved, increasing 7.4% to $20.5 million. However, some venues reported declines—Hard Rock was down 5.5% to $45.8 million, and Tropicana saw a 10.2% drop to $18.1 million.

Internet gaming revenue surged to $230.7 million, representing a 23.5% year-on-year jump. Most of this total came from “other authorized games,” which contributed $228 million, while peer-to-peer games added $2.7 million. Year-to-date internet gaming win now stands at $1.39 billion—up 22.7% from the same period in 2024.

FanDuel continued to dominate the online casino market, bringing in $53.3 million, a 48.2% increase. DraftKings followed with $43.6 million (+6.3%), and BetMGM grew 35.3% to $30.2 million. Caesars Palace saw impressive growth of 49.2% to $16.9 million, and Hard Rock Bet also climbed by 40.3% to $13.5 million.

Sports betting revenue jumps 52.9%:

As stated in the DGE press release, sports wagering generated $91.9 million in June, up 52.9% from the $60.1 million reported a year ago. Online bets accounted for nearly all of it, totaling $91.2 million, while retail sportsbooks pulled in just $600,000, down 48.5%. The month’s betting handle reached $790.4 million, with $755 million placed online.

FanDuel was the top performer again, recording $35.8 million in revenue (+22.9%), followed by DraftKings with $24.3 million, marking a 69.2% rise. BetFanatics made headlines with a 571.3% spike, reporting $12 million in mobile revenue.

Despite year-to-date sports betting revenue falling slightly to $552 million—down 3.7% compared to the previous year—hold rates have remained solid at 9.2%, and the market continues to thrive online.

According to Casino Control Commission Chairman James T. Plousis, significant capital improvements, strategic marketing efforts, and consistent digital performance have helped keep Atlantic City’s gaming industry on a growth trajectory. “Clearly, the Atlantic City gaming industry remains not only a very powerful economic engine, but also a significant contributor to New Jersey’s programs benefitting senior citizens and the disabled,” Plousis said.

Looking ahead, the industry is preparing for seasonal boosts from summer tourism and major sports events. While June’s figures didn’t surpass May’s record $614.7 million, stakeholders remain optimistic about continued growth, especially with the NFL season and potential new product launches on the horizon.
