Atlantic City casinos enjoyed their best summer in years in 2025. The gaming rally has continued into the fall, with October marking a resurgence from a slower September.

The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) reports that gross gaming revenue (GGR) from slot machines and table games totaled more than $234.7 million in October. The tally represents a 12.5% uptick on the same month in the prior year and a 1.7% month-to-month gain.

Following a summer to remember, where in-person GGR at the nine casinos increased by over 6% year over year between May and August, September’s win slowed to just a 0.1% gain. October reignited the Atlantic City rally.

iGaming Sets (Another) Record

While Atlantic City continues to prosper, online gaming operations continue to grow. iGaming, or online slots and table games, marked yet another record month in October with GGR of nearly $260.3 million.

October marked the sixth month over the past 10 where iGaming reached a new high. Internet slots and tables won almost $257.7 million from remote gamblers, while poker rake totaled about $2.6 million.  

Paired with sports betting revenue of $116 million, with almost all of it coming from online betting ($110.7 million), New Jersey’s gaming industry reported October revenue of a little more than $611 million. That was a 22.3% year-over-year gain, or a net difference of $111.3 million.

Atlantic City’s competitive gaming options and first-class in-person experiences, coupled with the strength of New Jersey’s online casinos, are proving to be a winning combination for the gaming industry as well as the economy of the city, the region, and the state,” said James Plousis, chair of the New Jersey Casino Control Commission.

New Jersey’s tax share of the October gaming revenue amounted to $88.2 million. Only $14.5 million came from in-person casino gambling.

Citywide Gains

All but two Atlantic City casinos saw in-person play improve in October. Perennial outlier Bally’s saw legacy GGR decline 1.2% to $11.3 million. Tropicana saw year-over-year casino win slow 8.9% to $16.1 million.

For the rest, October was bountiful, with Borgata, Caesars, Golden Nugget, Hard Rock, Harrah’s, Ocean, and Resorts posting GGR gains on the prior year.

Harrah’s was a distant fourth at $17.5 million (up 11%), Tropicana was fifth, Caesars was sixth ($16 million, up 6.8%), Resorts was seventh ($12.7 million, up 5.4%), Bally’s was eighth, and Golden Nugget was ninth ($10.7 million, up 6.8%).

Golden Nugget is last in legacy play but first online thanks to its FanDuel partnership. FanDuel iGaming revenue was $60.9 million in October. DraftKings and Resorts were next at $48.5 million.
