Online casino and poker rooms in New Jersey secured a third consecutive £100m month through May, as the Garden State’s sport betting ecosystem saw a surge in wagers during an expectedly slow month.
As the region’s total revenue grew 290.4 per cent year-on-year to $374.2m (2020: $95.8m), igaming revenue reached $108.2m, which is up a little under half a percentage point from April’s $107.7m.
Year-over-year, online casino and poker revenue is up 25.9 per cent from $85.9m in May 2020, with this latest performance yielding $18.9m in state and local taxes.
Borgata, which includes the BetMGM brand, continued to hold its place at the top of tree with $32.8m, edging out Golden Nugget’s $31.1m. Resorts Digital rounds off the top three with $21.5m.
On a land-based basis there’s no change month-on-month, with Borgata leading the way with revenue of $48.6m, ahead of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City and Ocean Casino Resort with $34.9m and $24.6m, respectively.
