ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - June 10, 2009
While the numbers due out Wednesday afternoon are still expected
to be down from last year, casino executives would be pleased with
figures that are less bad than previous months.
Atlantic City is in the third year of a revenue decline that
started soon after the first of many out-of-state slots parlors
opened outside Philadelphia in November 2006.
Competition from racetrack slots in Pennsylvania and New York is
draining loyal customers who can play closer to home.
Atlantic City casino revenue is down 15.7 percent so far this
year.
