In the casino industry, $13 million may not be a lot of money — but it represented a 51% gain for Atlantic City<\/strong>‘s online casinos and made up for \"tropicana_havana\"<\/a>softness at brick-and-mortar gambling houses. Slot revenue was down 3% on 2.5% less coin-in, while\u00a0table games won 3% more on 3% less volume. Borgata<\/strong> had a less-than-stellar month at the tables: 6% fewer winnings on 2% money wagered. Its slots, however, brought in 6.5% more money on 6% higher coin-in. Borgata continued to dominate online market share, with 31%, while dark horse Tropicana Atlantic City<\/strong> edged past Caesars Interactive<\/strong> (21%) into second place, with 22.5%.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the healthy online contribution, gross gaming revenue for the Boardwalk was down only 1% for November. The evil spirit of Bob Griffin<\/strong> having been exorcised from Trump Taj Mahal<\/strong>, it got out of last place ($13 million, -13%), besting Resorts Atlantic City<\/strong> ($13 million, 4%) by a couple of decimal points. The Tropicana, buoyed by those online results, posted the greatest improvement, up 8% on a gross of $23 million. The Golden Nugget<\/strong> ($16 million) was flat, while Borgata grossed $57 million for a 2% uptick.<\/p>\n

Harrah’s Resort<\/strong> ($30 million, -3%) predictably led the Caesars Entertainment<\/strong> pack, trailed by Caesars Atlantic City<\/strong> ($24 million, -5%) and Bally’s Atlantic City<\/strong> ($15 million, -12%). Caesars just waited too long to position Bally’s for all the castoff players from the likes of the Atlantic Club<\/strong> and Trump Plaza<\/strong>. Other casinos — most notably the Golden Nugget — have long since scooped them up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
