New Jersey Gaming Revenue Reaches $600M in April as Borgata Posts $67M Win

New Jersey’s gaming market pulled in just over $600 million during April 2026. That’s a 12% jump from April 2025. The state grabbed $97 million in taxes.

Land-based casinos in Atlantic City brought in $235 million for April, climbing nearly 12% from last year, according to WSN. This happened even though gas prices hit $4.27 per gallon across the state and Resorts World in Queens, New York, started running live table games with Class III slots.

Eight out of nine retail gaming properties posted gains. MGM’s Borgata crushed it with $67 million in total wins, up 14% from last year and snagging nearly 25% of the market.

Hard Rock snagged second place. They brought in $45 million, a 9% gain, holding their spot as a major player on the shore.

Caesars posted the biggest percentage jump at 32%, with $19 million across the property. Table games exploded, rocketing 138% from $3 million in April 2025 to $7 million last month.

Golden Nugget was the only one to slide, dropping 3% to $10.7 million. That pushed them below Bally’s, which hit $10.9 million, landing in last place among the nine retail spots.

Analysts figured land-based operations in New York City might siphon off 30% of business from the boardwalk. April’s numbers didn’t show that. Most properties stayed strong despite new competition across the Hudson River.

The online gaming sector kept growing as expected, while retail operations held up against economic pressures that usually cut down on travel.
