New Jersey’s gaming sector reported total revenue of $581.6 million in June 2025, marking an 18.4% year-over-year increase, according to figures released by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE). Each of the state’s three primary gaming segments—land-based casinos, iGaming, and sports betting contributed to the overall growth, sustaining the positive trajectory established during the second quarter.
Casino Revenue Holds Steady Despite Slot Slippage
Revenue from physical casinos reached $259 million for the month, showing a 6.1% gain compared to June 2024. However, a closer look reveals diverging trends within casino operations. Slot machines, typically the most lucrative segment for casinos, recorded a slight decline of 0.7%, bringing in $182.8 million. In contrast, table games delivered robust results, surging 26.9% to $76.2 million.
Among individual properties, Borgata stood out as the top performer, bringing in $76.7 million in casino win—up 19.4% from the previous year. Ocean Casino registered even stronger growth on a percentage basis, climbing 30.1% to $43.5 million. Caesars posted a more modest increase of 7.4%, reaching $20.5 million. Meanwhile, Hard Rock Atlantic City experienced a downturn, with revenue slipping 5.5% to $45.8 million.
Despite fluctuations in slot revenue, most casino operators saw either flat or improving performance, suggesting overall market resilience.
Online Casino Revenue Accelerates
The state’s iGaming segment maintained its upward momentum, generating $230.7 million in June—a 23.5% improvement year-on-year. The vast majority of this revenue, $228 million, came from “other authorized games,” which saw a 23.7% annual gain. Peer-to-peer games contributed a smaller $2.7 million but still posted a 9.4% increase.
FanDuel dominated the online casino market, reporting $53.3 million in iGaming revenue—a substantial 48.2% rise from the same period last year. DraftKings followed with $43.6 million, a 6.3% gain, while BetMGM added $30.2 million, up 35.3%. Other notable contributors included Borgata ($20 million, +12.3%), Caesars Palace ($16.9 million, +49.2%), and Hard Rock Bet ($13.5 million, +40.3%).
These figures underscore the continued importance of digital platforms in driving revenue across New Jersey’s regulated gambling environment.
Sports Wagering Surges Online as Retail Declines
Sports betting also experienced significant gains, with revenue increasing by 52.9% to $91.9 million in June. Almost all of this came from online sources, which accounted for $91.2 million. In stark contrast, retail sportsbooks saw their revenue tumble by 48.5% to just $600,000.
FanDuel once again led this vertical with $35.8 million in revenue, representing a 22.9% increase. DraftKings followed with $24.3 million, posting a significant 69.2% year-over-year gain. One of the standout performers was BetFanatics, which reported a staggering 571.3% increase, earning $12 million in mobile sports betting revenue.
The total sports betting handle for the month reached $790.4 million, with $755 million coming from online channels. Year-to-date, New Jersey has seen over $6 billion in total handle and $558.2 million in sports betting revenue, reflecting a 9.2% hold rate.
June Slightly Trails May’s Record, But Outlook Remains Strong
Although June’s total gaming revenue came in below May’s all-time high of $614.7 million, the month still reflected healthy growth across segments. As outlined in May 2025 revenue report, iGaming had climbed 28.5%, sports wagering jumped 30.2%, and land-based casino revenue rose 10.9%.
June’s figures, while slightly lower overall, continue to signal solid market fundamentals. The combination of strong iGaming gains and a flourishing online sports betting environment has kept the state’s gaming industry on a solid upward path.
Looking ahead to Q3, market observers are focused on how upcoming events, such as the start of the NFL season and potential platform enhancements, could further boost performance. With regulatory developments and new product initiatives on the horizon, operators appear well-positioned to sustain momentum through the second half of the year.
