January 2025 Snapshots
In LIGHT of the data.
Atlantic City's nine casino hotels started 2025 off on the right foot with a 2.6%
increase year-over-year in brick-and-mortar gaming revenue, and along with their internet
gaming partners, Atlantic City operators also realized a nearly 21% year-over-year
increase in internet gaming revenue.
Brick-and-mortar gaming is not being left behind by internet gaming. While internet
gaming again surpassed brick-and-mortar for total gaming revenue, brick-and-mortar
still realized a year-over-year increase in January (despite harsher winter weather
than we've seen recently). This is an encouraging sign for the year ahead.
Sports wagering was also a bright spot for Atlantic City's operators and their partners. Retail sportsbooks in Atlantic City more than tripled their revenue for the month, and the casinos, along with their partners, realized a more than 16% increase in year-over-year online sports wagering revenue.
It seems that in terms of revenues, casino sportsbooks performed better than racetrack sportsbooks this month, with casino sportsbooks showing year-over-year increases while racetracks saw declines. When activity from racetracks and their partners are included, New Jersey saw a 6.4% and 29% year-over-year decrease in retail and online sports wagering.
Atlantic City's casinos and their partners saw a year-over-year increase of 12% realizing $496.4 million in January 2025 compared to $442.3 million in January 2024.
