Internet gambling in New Jersey set a new record in September with the casinos and their partners winning over $208 million from online gamblers
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey's red-hot internet gambling market set another record in September with Atlantic City's casinos and their technical and online partners winning over $208 million.
Figures released Thursday by the state Division of Gaming Enforcement show the casinos and their partners exceeded $200 million in monthly internet gambling winnings for the first time, demonstrating how important online gambling is becoming here as the winnings of many physical casinos fade.
But this pool of money must be shared with outside parties such as tech providers and is not solely for the casinos to keep. For this reason, the gambling halls consider money won from in-person gamblers to be their core business.
And that business is progressing unevenly as many of the casinos are still winning less money on their casino floors than they did in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
