Based on filings with the Division of Gaming Enforcement, total gaming revenue for April 2021 was $352.2 million, compared to $82.6 million in April 2020 — a 326.4% increase.

Internet gaming revenue was $107.7 million in April 2021, compared with $80 million for April 2020, an increase of 34.8%. Sports-wagering gross revenue was $54.8 million for April 2020; casino win was $189.6 million.

Due to COVID-19, Atlantic City casinos closed at 8:00 p.m. on March 16, 2020. Internet casino gaming and online sports wagering continued, but most sports-wagering events were cancelled beginning in mid-March 2020. As a result, casino win and sports-wagering revenue for the month and the year-to-date period ended April 2021 are not comparable to 2020. Atlantic City casino hotels continue to operate under COVID-19 restrictions since reopening in July 2020.
