Top venue retains position:
The data for 2018 showed the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa had retained its position since New Jersey’s lucrative casino due to yearly gross gambling revenues of roughly $771.9 million. Although this represented a 4 percent drop year-on-year, it was partly offset by the MGM Resorts International centre recording around $6.3 million in annual takings from sportsbetting.

Fluctuating falls:
Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City from Caesars Entertainment Corporation was next up courtesy of yearly gross gambling revenues for 2018 of $332.9 million, which represented a diminution of 8.4% , while its sister Caesars Atlantic City center suffered a much bigger comparable fall of 13.5percent to see its overall twelve-month takings from gambling hit marginally over $281.3 million.
