By Phil - 21 de outubro de 2019
The Casino Association of New Jersey has confirmed that Atlantic City continued to see growth in the month of September, according to the most recent Division of Gaming Enforcement gaming revenue results report. September marked 16 straight months that Atlantic City casinos saw gaming revenue increases.
“September marks 16 straight months of increased gaming revenue for Atlantic City casinos,” said Steve Callender, President of the Casino Association of New Jersey. “We continued to see gains in sports betting and tourism numbers this summer, with gaming revenue increasing over 16 per cent compared to last summer. We believe this excitement will continue into the fall season as all major sports are in full swing.”
The DGE report shows that September gaming revenue for Atlantic City was over $283m. This reflects a 4.1 per cent increase over the same period last year. Online gaming revenue came in at over $41m in September 2019, up nearly 60 per cent over September 2018. The industry generated over $24m in taxes and fees collected by the state in September 2019 whilst total gaming revenue in Atlantic City for 2019 through September is $2.46bn.
“Atlantic City had a strong year with an increase in gaming revenue and traffic going through the Pleasantville toll plaza throughout the summer, non-gaming numbers released thus far also indicate a positive uptick,” said Rummy Pandit, Executive Director of The Lloyd D. Levenson Institute of Gaming Hospitality & Tourism. “These increases are encouraging indicators that the seaside resort destination revenues remain on an upward trajectory.”
A indústria dos cassinos continua a trabalhar para solidificar o retorno do resort à beira-mar, diversificando as ofertas de Atlantic City, bem como investindo centenas de milhões de dólares em projetos de redesenvolvimento e serviços não relacionados ao jogo para atrair novos visitantes. Os esforços da indústria avançaram na revitalização de Atlantic City, transformando a cidade em um destino para conferências de negócios e um resort de primeira classe que oferece ótimos restaurantes, entretenimento e compras.
