ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — There is both good news and bad news for Atlantic City’s casinos and racetracks that took sports bets in 2023. Figures released Tuesday show they won nearly $5.8 billion from gamblers, setting a new record. But the bad news is that only three of the nine casinos won more from in-person gamblers than they did in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

The figures do not include horse racing winnings, which are reported separately.
