Atlantic City Casinos Post Strongest July Revenue in 14 Years as 2026 Figures Climb

Data from July 2026 shows Atlantic City’s nine casinos reached $304.2 million in gross gaming revenue, marking a 7.1% rise from the same month in 2025 and the highest July total since 2012, while slot revenue climbed 6.2% to $226.1 million and table games revenue increased 9.5% to $78.1 million.

Those numbers come from the Division of Gaming Enforcement reports released in early August 2026, and they reflect continued momentum across both traditional casino floors and the broader statewide market that includes iGaming and sports betting.

Slot and Table Performance Drive the Monthly Gain

Slot machines accounted for the larger share of the Atlantic City total, generating $226.1 million after a 6.2% year-over-year increase, while table games produced $78.1 million following the 9.5% advance, and together the two categories produced the overall $304.2 million figure that surpassed every July result recorded since 2012.

Observers note that table games posted the sharper percentage gain, yet slots continued to supply the bulk of revenue, and the combined result pushed the nine properties past the $300 million mark for the first time in the month of July in more than a decade.

Statewide Totals Extend the Upward Trend

Across New Jersey the picture widened further when iGaming and sports betting entered the calculation, lifting the statewide gaming revenue total to $678.1 million, an 11.9% increase from July 2025, and pushing year-to-date revenue past $4.2 billion by the end of the seventh month.

Those statewide numbers incorporate activity from the Atlantic City casinos plus online platforms and sportsbooks operating under New Jersey licenses, and the 11.9% jump illustrates how the addition of digital channels has expanded the overall market beyond what land-based properties alone can deliver.

Historical Context and August 2026 Outlook

July 2026 stands out because it exceeds every corresponding month back to 2012, and the 7.1% year-over-year lift follows a pattern of steady improvement that began after the pandemic-related disruptions of earlier years, according to the July 2026 Gaming Revenue Report.

With the July results now public, attention turns to August 2026 figures that the Division of Gaming Enforcement will release in September, and industry participants will watch whether the same properties can sustain or exceed the pace set during the summer peak.

Breakdown of Revenue Sources

Within the Atlantic City total, the split between slots and tables reveals distinct contributions, with slots delivering roughly three-quarters of the monthly gross while tables supplied the remaining quarter, and the faster percentage growth in tables suggests operators may have seen stronger play at higher-limit games during the month.

Statewide, the inclusion of iGaming and sports betting added more than double the Atlantic City land-based total, demonstrating how online channels now represent a significant and growing portion of New Jersey’s overall gaming economy.

Conclusion

The July 2026 results provide a clear snapshot of current conditions in Atlantic City and across New Jersey, where the nine casinos recorded $304.2 million in gross gaming revenue, slots reached $226.1 million, tables hit $78.1 million, and the broader market including iGaming and sports betting climbed to $678.1 million with year-to-date figures already past $4.2 billion.
