When Atlantic City casinos saw capacity restrictions vanish as of May 19, some thought NJ online casino revenue would experience a slight drop.
Sure, falling below the $100-million mark for just the second time this year was a realistic possibility. Gamblers were ready to return to normalcy.
The nine land-based properties enjoyed their strongest month of Atlantic City revenue in more than a year.
However, NJ online casinos also enjoyed a very strong month as the industry reported its second-best month since the 2013 launch. The seven license holders reported a combined $108.2 million in May revenue.
The state Division of Gaming Enforcement released the latest figures last week.
So far, there is only one month ahead of it. That would be the $113.7 million from March.
Here is another impressive number: $527.2 million. This would be the online casino revenue total through the first five months of 2021.
