Atlantic City Casinos Report Record July Revenue as Slots and Tables Both Climb

Atlantic City’s nine casinos posted $304.2 million in gross gaming revenue during July 2026, marking a 7.1 percent gain over the same month in 2025 and the strongest July performance since 2012. Slot machines generated $226.1 million, up 6.2 percent, while table games reached $78.1 million, a 9.5 percent rise. Eight of the nine properties recorded increases, with Borgata leading the market at $81.6 million.

Revenue Breakdown Across Properties

Data released in August 2026 shows the gains came from steady play across both slot floors and table pits, and the overall lift pushed year-to-date totals for the nine casinos past previous benchmarks. Observers note that the month’s results reflect continued recovery in visitor volume combined with stronger per-visit spending on both electronic and live games.

Borgata’s $81.6 million total accounted for more than a quarter of the citywide figure, driven by solid slot and table performance. The remaining properties followed a similar pattern, with most locations reporting higher handle and win rates compared with July 2025. Only one casino posted a decline, keeping the overall market positive.

Statewide Gaming Picture

When iGaming and sports betting are added to the land-based numbers, total New Jersey gaming revenue reached $678.1 million for July 2026, an 11.9 percent increase over the prior year. Year-to-date figures across all channels now exceed $4.2 billion. The online and mobile segments continued to expand, yet the Atlantic City casinos still contributed the largest single-month share of the statewide total.

State regulators compile these figures each month from operator filings, and the July report was issued in the first week of August 2026. The data covers all nine operating casinos in Atlantic City plus the full range of licensed online and sports-betting activity statewide.

Segment Performance Details

Slot revenue of $226.1 million represented the bulk of the casino total, while table games contributed the faster percentage growth at 9.5 percent. Blackjack, roulette, and baccarat all posted gains, with baccarat showing particular strength at properties that cater to higher-limit play. Poker rooms remained a smaller but steady contributor within the table-games category.

Property-level results indicate that marketing programs, player loyalty rewards, and improved hotel occupancy helped drive foot traffic. Eight casinos posted higher revenue than in July 2025, suggesting the uptick was broad rather than isolated to a single operator.

Context Within Recent Trends

The July 2026 total stands as the highest for that month since 2012, when the market was still adjusting after several property closures. Since then the remaining nine casinos have focused on operational efficiency and diversified amenities, and the latest figures show those efforts producing measurable results. Year-over-year comparisons now place the market ahead of pre-pandemic July benchmarks in nominal terms.

Statewide, the addition of iGaming and sports betting has created a more stable revenue base that grows even when land-based results vary month to month. July’s combined total of $678.1 million illustrates how the three channels together support overall industry expansion.

Conclusion

The July 2026 numbers provide a clear snapshot of current performance across Atlantic City’s nine casinos and the broader New Jersey gaming market. With eight properties showing gains and both slots and tables contributing to the 7.1 percent increase, the month stands out as a strong point in the seasonal calendar.
