NEW JERSEY – New Jersey’s sportsbooks did not disappoint in their first full month of operation, increasing wagers dramatically in June while nearly doubling the number of open sportsbooks to five.
New Jersey’s sportsbooks generated $3.8m in gross revenue on $40.7m in wagers in July. Both metrics are up from the $3.5m in gross revenue generated in June on $16.4m in wagers completed. The first full month of operation for Monmouth Park, Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa, and Ocean Resort Casino — which opened June 14 or later and the addition of two new sportsbooks in July were the key drivers to the growth.
FanDuel Sportsbook at Meadowlands Racetrack opened on July 14, placing a legal sportsbook on the doorstep of New York City. Caesar’s Entertainment opened the sportsbook at Bally's - Atlantic City on July 30, and later opened the book at Harrah's Resort Atlantic City on August 1.
Of the existing books, Ocean Resort led the way with $1.03m in gross revenue by generating $33,444 per day. Ocean Resort opened 28 June. Monmouth Park tallied $856,280 in July gross revenue, generating $27,622 per day. That was down from $142,448 per day in June and $2.3m in gross revenue in 16 days of operation.
