ATLANTIC CITY, NJ — New Jersey’s total gaming revenue rose to $536.6 million in April, a 5.0% increase over the same month last year, according to figures released Friday by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement.

Online gaming offsets casino and sports betting declines

Despite declines in both in-person casino revenue and sports betting, the rise in Internet gaming helped push overall revenue higher. April’s $536.6 million total marked a $25.7 million increase over the same month last year.

Year-to-date total gaming revenue reached $2.12 billion through April, up 3.1% from $2.06 billion during the first four months of 2024. The state collected $59.8 million in total gross revenue taxes in April and $234.9 million so far this year.
