Atlantic City Casinos Battling Over Business?
There are a total of nine casinos in Atlantic City after the Hard Rock and Ocean Resort opened as the newest additions.
Between online gaming and sports betting, the casinos are definitely making money but there is only so much business to go around so naturally, a lot of the casinos saw a decrease in business as there are more options for people to choose from these days.
Here are all of the casinos that there are to choose from and how they are doing business-wise these days.
Borgata
Total Gaming Revenue:
July 2018: $76,618,371
July 2017: $80,126,715
Borgata saw a 9.9% decrease in gaming revenue despite the fact that they were the first to offer sports betting.
Tropicana
Total Gaming Revenue:
July 2018: $37,048,446
July 2017: $41,086,493
Overall, Tropicana is the 2nd highest grossing but still saw a 9.8 decrease in revenue.
Hard Rock

After being opened for a little over a month, Hard Rock comes in third for gaming revenue and have stated that they do plan on implementing sports betting.

July 2018: $31,435,241
July 2017: $36,613,337

Golden Nugget

July 2017: $27,050,239
Golden Nugget is the only casino that saw an increase -- go golden!

For being opened for just over a month, this casino did very well. It looks like the other casinos should watch out.
