The strong results come from three main areas: land‑based casinos, internet gaming (iGaming), and sports betting. This growth reflects continued interest from both local players and visitors.
The state Division of Gaming Enforcement released these figures on July 16, 2025, showing that digital channels and wagering are driving much of the rise.
iGaming and Sports Betting Fuel Growth
Internet gaming saw the biggest jump in June. Players wagered on slots, table games, and poker online, leading to $230.7 million in gross revenue. That is a 23.5% increase over last year. The convenience of playing from home and the variety of games helped push these figures higher.
NJ sports betting also posted very strong numbers. In June, wagering operators reported $91.9 million in gross revenue from bets on major leagues and events. That was up 52.9% year‑on‑year.
The total amount bet, known as the handle, reached $790.4 million, showing that both casual and serious bettors are active. These gains underline how popular mobile and online sportsbooks have become in New Jersey.
Land‑Based Casinos See Modest Gains
Traditional casinos remain a key part of the market. In June, the nine Atlantic City casinos recorded $259 million in casino win, up 6.1% from a year earlier. Table games led the way, with revenues rising 27%, while slot machines were nearly flat, at $182.8 million.
Top properties included the Borgata, which brought in $76.7 million, a 19.4% rise, and Ocean Casino Resort at $43.5 million, up 30.1%. Hard Rock saw a small decline of 5.5%, reflecting the competitive mix of venues.
Overall, these land‑based figures show that in‑person gaming still draws significant crowds, even as digital play grows.
Looking Ahead
All three verticals, casinos, iGaming, and sports wagering, posted gains in June. Combined, they drove the strongest month since May’s record performance. As New Jersey moves into the peak summer season, operators will watch trends in tourism and event schedules.
Continued marketing efforts and new game releases could further boost revenues.
The state also benefits from gaming taxes, which help fund public services. In June, gross revenue taxes totaled $62.8 million. These funds support senior programs, infrastructure, and other community needs.
With $581.6 million in June, New Jersey’s gaming industry remains a vital economic engine for the state.
