Atlantic City Casinos Mark Strongest July Since 2012 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 2026, which represents a 7.1% year-over-year increase and stands as the strongest July total since 2012, while slot revenue climbed 6.2% to $226.1 million and table games increased 9.5% to $78.1 million with eight of the nine properties posting gains.
Borgata led all properties with $81.6 million in revenue, and the remaining locations followed with positive results that contributed to the overall uptick, whereas the broader New Jersey gaming market including iGaming and sports betting reached $678.1 million for an 11.9% rise that pushed year-to-date figures past $4.2 billion according to official state reports.
Slot and Table Game Performance Details
Slots accounted for the larger share of Atlantic City revenue at $226.1 million after a 6.2% gain, which demonstrates sustained player interest across the casino floors, while table games produced $78.1 million following a 9.5% advance that reflects stronger wagering activity at blackjack, roulette, and poker tables throughout the month.
These combined figures pushed the nine properties past the $300 million mark for the first time in July since 2012, and observers note the balanced growth between machine and live game categories created a more stable revenue base than periods when one segment dominated results.
Property-Level Results and Market Leaders
Eight of the nine Atlantic City casinos recorded revenue increases in July 2026, and Borgata’s $81.6 million total placed it at the top of the list with clear separation from the rest of the field, while the remaining properties that posted gains contributed smaller but meaningful amounts that collectively drove the 7.1% overall rise.
The single property that did not report growth still operated within the same regulatory environment, yet the widespread participation from eight locations underscores how evenly distributed the month’s positive performance became across the market.

New Jersey Statewide Gaming Totals
When iGaming and sports betting revenue joined the land-based casino numbers, the statewide total reached $678.1 million for July 2026, which marks an 11.9% increase over the prior year and extends the positive trajectory that carried year-to-date figures beyond $4.2 billion, while the additional channels provided supplementary volume that land-based operations alone did not capture.
These statewide statistics appear in official gaming commission releases and confirm the Atlantic City properties operated as the primary physical component within a larger digital and betting ecosystem that continued to expand during the same period.
Context Within Recent Years
July 2026 stands out because it surpassed every corresponding month since 2012, and the 7.1% year-over-year gain builds on earlier recovery patterns that brought the market back toward pre-pandemic levels without exceeding the historical peak months recorded more than a decade earlier.
Revenue comparisons show slot play maintained steady momentum while table games accelerated at a faster pace, and the combination produced the first July result above $300 million in fourteen years according to data compiled from all nine operating properties.
Conclusion
The July 2026 results establish a clear benchmark for Atlantic City casinos, with $304.2 million in gross gaming revenue, $226.1 million from slots, $78.1 million from table games, and Borgata leading at $81.6 million, while eight properties posted gains and the full New Jersey market including iGaming and sports betting reached $678.1 million for an 11.9% increase that lifted year-to-date totals past $4.2 billion. July 2026 gaming revenue statistics provide the primary reference point for these figures, and additional coverage appears through industry reporting outlets.
