Atlantic City Casino Closings Hurt Gambling Totals for State, Not for Most Casinos

The loss of four casinos began to show up in Atlantic City's gambling revenues in September, which were nearly 13 percent less than they were a year ago before the closings started happening.

Including Internet gambling revenue, which didn't exist a year ago, the casinos won $209.4 million in September, down from $240.2 million in September 2013.

But September saw the closings of two casinos, Revel and Trump Plaza, and the Showboat closed its doors on Aug. 31. The Atlantic Club closed in January.

Casinos that operated in both Sept. 2013 and 2014 posted a 9.1 percent increase in revenue last month, climbing to $207.7 million.

Internet gambling took in $10.2 million in September, down $300,000 from August.

The Trump Taj Mahal is in danger of closing next month.

Here is a look at Sept. 2014 revenue for Atlantic City's remaining casinos, compared with Sept. 2013

Borgata: $58.4 million, up 13 percent

Harrah's: $31.2 million, up 5.9 percent

Caesars: $26.1 million, up 9.6 percent

Tropicana: $23.4 million, up 15.8 percent

Bally's: $19.6 million, down 2.3 percent

Taj Mahal: $17.5 million, down 23 percent

Golden Nugget: $16.2 million, up 51.6 percent
