Online gambling and poker institutions of the state reached $117.95 million income during November, which shows an increment by 28.5 per cent from $91.82m in November 2020 but it concedes the previous month when it cost $127m.
During the 30 days of November, the pace slowed to $3.9million, while in October it reached up to $4.1million. As for November 2020, the income was $3.1million each day. For 2021, live casinos managed to generate $1.2 billion income.
Borgata takes the leader’s position with $33.73 million income which proves to exceed Resorts Digital and Golden Nugget Online Gaming with $27.84 million and $31.76 million income, respectively.

An analyst at PlayNJ, David Danzis mentioned:
“Live casinos and sportsbooks managed to create a flood-tide which they both benefit. There arises a question whether there’s more space for live casinos to grow. In my opinion, they have not reached their top, but the development in the upcoming year will change the situation of the past couple of years.”
The states’ casinos and sportsbooks passed $1.26 billion in betting within the last month, which is considered the third consecutive month with betting over $1 billion.
Sportsbook had broken a record by $114.8 million of November wagers while in October it was set at $84.2 million. There is an increase by 127.1 per cent year-on-year.
The state is the only one that passes the $20 billion threshold in betting and $1.5 billion in income.
Danzis remarked:
“The key to the success of New Jersey is the capability to capture the interests of customers with a great range of variety of sports.”
During November, live sportsbooks recorded $1.1 billion in betting which is around 90.9 per cent of New Jersey’s handle.
