The city’s casinos generated more taxes than ever before in 2025, and also sent a record amount to the state to pay for programs for senior citizens and the disabled.
But the benefits of that strong financial performance largely went elsewhere, as many of Atlantic City’s nine casinos continued to struggle, with their revenue declining and their profits remaining flat.
Those were the big takeaways in a report issued Wednesday by Stockton University’s Lloyd D. Levenson Institute of Gaming, Hospitality and Tourism, which studies the Atlantic City gambling market.
It shows an Atlantic City casino industry that serves as a cash cow for other entities, even as its own finances continue to decline, with a wave of new nearby competition on the way.
