In the face of years of decline, casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey, have turned the corner with steady increases for over a year. The trend continued during the first quarter of 2016, and this is great news for Garden State casinos after the state saw several closings of casinos in 2014 and has been presented with increasing competition from surrounding states.
According to the March 2016 Gaming Revenue Results report released by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, casino revenue in Atlantic City as a whole grew from $579.9 million in the first quarter of 2015 to $598 million in the first quarter of 2016.
