Atlantic City Casinos Payback Percentage
Atlantic City's first casino, Resorts International, opened in 1978. Since then 11 more casinos have opened and all but three are located along the boardwalk. Those three, Borgata, Harrah's and Trump Marina, are located in the marina section.
In mid-1997 Bally's Wild Wild West casino (Atlantic City's first themed casino) opened, but due to a quirk in the licensing law, this casino is only considered part of Bally's and not a separate casino.
Additionally, in late 2002, the Claridge Casino Hotel formally joined Bally's as "The Claridge Tower" and it is no longer considered a separate casino.
The following table, from the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, shows the total percentages returned by each casino for all of their electronic machines which includes slot machines, video poker, etc. The data is from July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007:
