So March's numbers constituted some not-so-bad news in the nation's second-largest gambling market, where revenues were down by 5.6 percent from a year ago.
Data released Friday shows the city's 11 casinos won $300.8 million last month.
Slot machines brought in $207.3 million, down 5 percent, while table games brought in $93.5 million, down 6.8 percent.
While still lower than last year, the numbers were encouraging, if only because double-digit declines had become the norm since slots parlors opened in neighboring states three years ago, siphoning off some of Atlantic City's most profitable customers.
