The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (NJGE) announced the gambling revenue data for July 2025, with total revenue reaching $606.2 million, a 10.7% increase year-over-year, and total revenue from the beginning of the year reaching $3.92 billion, an 8.8% increase. This month, $81.7 million in gambling taxes were collected, with a cumulative tax revenue of $446.1 million for the year.
In the segmented market, casinos remain the largest source of revenue, with July revenue of $284.1 million, up 4.3% year-over-year. Slot machine revenue was $212.9 million (+2.7%), and table games brought in $71.3 million (+9.7%). Among the casinos, Borgata had the highest slot machine betting amount reaching $590.2 million, and Bally’s saw the largest increase, at 10.1%.
iGaming performed particularly well, with revenue of $247.3 million, a significant increase of 26.6% year-over-year, and revenue from the beginning of the year to now at $1.63 billion (+23.3%). Major contributors included Borgata ($54.9 million), Golden Nugget ($71.2 million), and Resorts Casino ($55.6 million).
In contrast, sports betting revenue was slightly weak, down 6.6% year-over-year to $74.8 million, with a 4% decrease to $626.8 million from the beginning of the year. Several operators experienced losses in retail sports betting, but online sports betting still generated substantial revenue, with New Meadowlands, Resorts Casino, and Bally’s performing well.
Additionally, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed Bill No. 5447, prohibiting sweepstakes casinos, proxy betting, and certain online gambling activities, with a maximum fine of $100,000 for the first violation and up to $250,000 for subsequent violations. This measure prompted operators like VGW to withdraw some products in advance.
Overall, the New Jersey gambling market shows a pattern of rapid growth in iGaming, steady traditional casinos, and pressured sports betting, while enhanced regulatory measures reflect a trend of strict control over alternative online gambling.
