Atlantic City, N.J.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - New Jersey's casinos, horse tracks that offer sports betting and the online partners of both types of gambling outlets won $470.6 million from gamblers in August, up more than 10% from a year earlier.

The amount of money won from in-person gamblers at casinos was nearly $274 million, up 4.4% from a year earlier.

But that total still lagged behind the level of August 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic hit.

Returning to pre-pandemic levels for in-person gamblers has been the main goal of Atlantic City's nine casinos, regardless of the fact that money from internet and sports betting continues to grow.
