Sports betting and online gambling were at near-record levels in New Jersey in September, and nearly half of the Atlantic City casinos won more money from in-person gamblers than they did before the COVID19 pandemic.

But the amount of money won from people on the casino floor is still not back to pre-pandemic levels at five of the nine casinos.

That total was higher this September at $246 million than it was in Sept. 2019, at $224 million. With sports betting and internet gambling money included, the casinos, tracks and their online partners won over $521 million in September.
