Zoom out to the first eight months of 2026, and the picture splits. Three of the nine Atlantic City casinos — Borgata, Caesars and Ocean — are running ahead of last year’s pace for casino win. The other six are behind.
Who’s ahead through eight months
Caesars has posted the biggest year-to-date gain of the nine casinos, up 10.9% to $158.5 million.
Ocean is up 5.4% to $329.9 million, the second-largest increase in raw dollars behind Borgata’s $19.5 million gain. Golden Nugget has had the largest year-to-date percentage decline, down 4.7% to $90 million after a 10.3% drop in August alone.
According to the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement’s monthly report, released Wednesday, across Atlantic City, casino win was $2.01 billion through August, up 1.8% from the same period last year.
The August results cover casino win from slot machines and table games only. Internet gaming was a separate and considerably larger growth story for the month, with casinos and their partners generating $259.3 million, up 4.4% year over year.
Correction: An earlier version of this story reported each casino’s August slot win as its total casino win. The August figures, year-over-year changes and rankings have been updated.
