The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement has released the January numbers for Atlantic City, however the numbers are not encouraging for the city's 11 casinos.

According to the report:

  • Casino revenue was down 7.2% last month

  • The city's 11 casinos posted $236.9 million in revenue from slot machines and table games, down from $255.4 million last year. Slot revenues were about even with last year, but table games fell 20.2% to $72.2 million compared with last year.

  • The casinos hold percentage for table games was 14.8%, down from 16.6% during the same period last year.

  • There was one less Saturday in January, which may be a contributing factor to the decline in revenue.

  • Two casinos had increased revenues compared to the same period last year. Those casinos were the Golden Nugget Atlantic City, which was up 3.4% to $9.6 million and Resorts Casino Hotel, up 3.2% to just over $10 million.

  • The largest decline was ACH, which saw a 20.6% revenue plunge, to $7.8 million.
