“November highlighted yet another month of gains for Atlantic City, primarily online gaming and sports wagering, as we approach the end of the year,” said Steve Callender, President of the Casino Association of New Jersey. “Sports betting and tourism are strengthening the city’s overall revitalisation, and we look forward to continuing this progress in 2020.”

“2019 has been a great year so far for Atlantic City with an increase in tourism, thanks to gaming, sports wagering and other positive developments across the city,” said Joe Kelly, President of the Greater Atlantic City Chamber. “The casino industry continues to serve as the backbone of the city, region and state’s economy, and these steady economic gains are an encouraging sign that the city is a top seaside resort destination.”

La industria de los casinos continúa trabajando para solidificar el regreso del balneario diversificando las ofertas de Atlantic City, así como invirtiendo cientos de millones de dólares en proyectos de reurbanización y servicios no relacionados con los juegos para atraer nuevos visitantes. Los esfuerzos de la industria han impulsado la revitalización de Atlantic City, transformando la ciudad en un destino para conferencias de negocios y un centro turístico de primera clase que cuenta con excelentes restaurantes, entretenimiento y tiendas.
