On Jan, 16, 2023, New Jersey gambling regulators released statistics showing that Atlantic City's casinos, racetracks that accept sports betting and their online partners won nearly $5.8 billion from gamblers in 2023, a new record. But only three of the nine casinos won more from in-person gamblers last year than they did in 2019 before the coronavirus pandemic broke out. (AP Photo/Wayne Parry)
