Atlantic City casino operators enjoyed “one more for the road” in terms of gross profits in the fourth quarter, according to figures released on Thursday by the state Division of Gaming Enforcement.
The numbers were delayed for a month due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, and reflect the last clear quarter before the disaster. While the casinos were only closed for the last two weeks of the first quarter of 2020, that period will reflect the absence of the March Madness NCAA men’s basketball tournament and the opening days of scheduled Yankees, Mets, and Phillies regular season baseball action.
