Atlantic City’s casinos saw their revenue increase by 4.6 percent in November, the latest evidence that the struggling resort’s gambling industry is recovering.

The city’s seven casinos won $206.4 million from gamblers last month, compared with $197.2 million a year ago.

The figures released Wednesday by the state Division of Gaming Enforcement are the first in a year that don’t take into account the former Trump Taj Mahal casino, which closed in October 2016 and is due to reopen next summer as a Hard Rock casino resort.

Internet gambling revenue was up 20 percent to $20.6 million.

Bally’s and Harrah’s were the only two casinos to report monthly revenue decreases.

The biggest percentage gain came at Resorts, which was up nearly 19 percent to just under $15 million.
