Breaking News: Online Gambling in New Jersey Sees $8.4 Million Gambled

$8.4 million has been gambled online in New Jersey since the Garden State launched real money online gambling in late November, according to figures released Tuesday afternoon. 

Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa far outpaced the other six Atlantic City properties in online gaming revenue, bringing in $3.7 million, nearly half of the total. Ceasars Interactive Entertainment, which operates online gambling through the Bally’s and Caesars properties in Atlantic City, came in next at $2.4 million.

Meanwhile, the seaside resort has recorded its lowest revenues in 22 years.  Revenues fell below $3 billion. 

Figures released Tuesday by the state Division of Gaming Enforcement show the city’s casinos won $2.86 billion in 2013, down from just over $3 billion in 2012.  The news comes just an hour before New Jersey Governor Chris Christie gave his State of the State address.

Atlantic City also lost one of its casinos with the Atlantic Club closing yesterday (January 13, 2014).
