Atlantic City Casinos reported $346.3 million in casino win in October, a 9.9 percent decrease over the same month a year ago.

Results reported to the New Jersey Casino Control Commission Monday show that the 11 casinos won $235.9 million at the slot machines and another $110.3 million at table games in October.

Slot revenue fell 12.7 percent while table game revenues declined by 3.3 percent.

For the first 10 months of the year, casinos won $3.9 billion, down 6.6 percent from the same period in 2007.

Revenue from slot machines is down 8.6 percent and revenue from table games is down 2 percent for the 10 months.

Win, or casino revenue, is the net amount of money won by casinos. It is not profit.
