Atlantic City Casinos Reach 14-Year July High With $304.2 Million Revenue

Data released in August 2026 shows Atlantic City’s nine casinos generated $304.2 million in gross gaming revenue during July, marking a 7.1% increase from the same month in 2025 and the strongest July performance since 2012; eight of the nine properties recorded gains while the overall New Jersey gaming market, which includes iGaming and sports betting, climbed to $678.1 million for an 11.9% year-over-year rise that pushed year-to-date totals past $4.2 billion.

Slot and Table Game Breakdown

Slot revenue reached $226.1 million after rising 6.2% compared with July 2025, while table games produced $78.1 million following a 9.5% advance; these category totals reflect steady visitor traffic across the boardwalk properties and continued strength in both electronic gaming and traditional pit games. Observers note that the combined slot and table figures account for the full $304.2 million reported by the nine casinos, with no other revenue streams included in that casino-specific total.

Property Performance Highlights

Borgata led all properties with $81.6 million in revenue, while the remaining eight casinos also contributed to the overall increase; only one property posted a decline, yet the group as a whole still achieved the highest July total in 14 years. Figures indicate that the distribution of gains remained broad, with mid-tier and smaller venues joining the larger resorts in posting positive results for the month.

Statewide Gaming Context

Total New Jersey gaming revenue, encompassing the Atlantic City casinos plus online and sports betting activity, reached $678.1 million in July 2026; this 11.9% increase over the prior year demonstrates how the broader regulated market continues to expand beyond land-based operations alone. Year-to-date totals crossing $4.2 billion reflect consistent monthly performance that began in January and carried through the summer period.

According to July 2026 gaming revenue statistics, the Atlantic City component represented roughly 45% of the statewide figure, while iGaming and sports betting supplied the balance; the split highlights how digital channels now complement the historic casino district without replacing it.

Year-Over-Year Comparison

July 2025 produced $283.9 million for the nine casinos, so the 2026 result of $304.2 million added $20.3 million in incremental revenue; the 7.1% growth rate outpaced the statewide average for land-based operations alone and aligned with the strongest summer month recorded since 2012. Data shows table games grew faster than slots in percentage terms, yet slots still contributed the larger absolute dollar increase because of their higher base volume.

Reporting Timeline and August 2026 Release

State regulators compiled and released the July numbers in mid-August 2026, allowing operators and analysts to assess summer performance before Labor Day weekend; the timing follows the standard monthly cycle that has remained unchanged for more than a decade. Those who track these reports note that the August release typically includes preliminary adjustments for any late-submitted data, though the core totals rarely shift materially after initial publication.

Conclusion

The July 2026 results establish a clear benchmark for Atlantic City’s nine casinos at $304.2 million, with slots at $226.1 million and tables at $78.1 million, while the statewide total of $678.1 million and year-to-date figure above $4.2 billion provide additional context for the full New Jersey gaming market; the single report covering these outcomes supplies the complete set of figures referenced throughout this article.
