New analysis of figures from 2024 and the first two months of 2025 reveals a dip in in-person revenue across New Jersey\u2019s iconic coastal gambling hub, while online casino revenue continues to accelerate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-revenue-trends\">The Revenue Trends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The nine remaining Atlantic City casinos reported a 1.1% decline in Gross Revenue Retention (GRR) for 2024 compared to 2023. The new year initially offered a glimmer of hope, with January 2025 showing a 3% year-over-year increase. However, that momentum did not last, with the February 2025 GRR dropping 3.8% from the same month in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, online casinos are heading in the opposite direction. February <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/news\/atlantic-city-powers-nj-to-second-ever-600m-gaming-month\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2025\u2019s iGaming revenues<\/a> hit $207.8 million, a 14% jump year-on-year, and importantly, a figure that surpassed Atlantic City\u2019s in-person revenue for the second straight month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-numbers-at-a-glance\">The Numbers at a Glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2024 Atlantic City revenue: Down 1.1% vs. 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>January 2025 GRR: Up 3% vs. Jan 2024<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>February 2025 GRR: Down 3.8% vs. Feb 2024<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In-person slots: $152.1m (down 4.3%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other in-person activity: $51.3m (down 2.5%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Total in-person GRR (Feb 2025): $203.4m<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Total iGaming GRR (Feb 2025): $207.8m (+14% YoY)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-the-shift\">Why the Shift?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Industry experts suggest that the decline in in-person gaming does not mean demand for gambling is falling. It is shifting. According to Jane Bokunewicz, director of Stockton University\u2019s Lloyd D. Levenson Institute of Gaming, Hospitality, and Tourism, a quieter winter season at physical casinos \u201copened the door to more internet gaming activity.\u201d She added that the momentum allowed online platforms to \u201coutpace brick-and-mortar casinos for the second consecutive month.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This reflects a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americangaming.org\/resources\/commercial-gaming-revenue-tracker\/\">larger trend in U.S. gaming<\/a>: players are increasingly drawn to the convenience, variety, and promotions offered by iGaming platforms. Online slots, live dealer tables, and poker rooms are accessible 24\/7 and provide an immersive experience without the need to travel to the Jersey Shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-balancing-act-for-atlantic-city\">A Balancing Act for Atlantic City<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For Atlantic City\u2019s nine casinos, the challenge will be balancing the in-person entertainment experience with the growing pull of digital gambling. Seasonal factors like harsh New Jersey winters likely played a role in February\u2019s slump, and the industry will be watching closely to see if warmer months bring a rebound in foot traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, the broader momentum is clear: iGaming is becoming a dominant force in New Jersey\u2019s gambling landscape. With online revenue already eclipsing brick-and-mortar performance in back-to-back months, it signals a future where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realmoneygambling.com\/news\/more-netent-games-coming-to-new-jersey-via-tipico\/\">digital platforms<\/a> may lead the way while Atlantic City works to reinvent its in-person appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Atlantic City\u2019s casino floors may be losing some of their shine.
