Atlantic City’s land-based casinos and their online gambling partners have distributed nearly $284.3 million in jackpots since the beginning of 2025, according to official state data.
The figure comes from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement’s latest jackpot report, which tracks prizes of $40,000 or more awarded at the city’s nine casino properties and through their digital platforms.
The total represents payouts across both retail slot machines and table games on the casino floors, as well as jackpots hit through online casino platforms tied to Atlantic City licenses. New Jersey’s regulated online gambling market operates through partnerships with the state’s brick-and-mortar properties.
The Division of Gaming Enforcement publishes updated jackpot figures regularly, providing a transparent record of significant wins across the market. The data includes information on the winning casino, game type, manufacturer, and denomination for each qualifying prize.
Atlantic City has seen steady growth in both land-based and online gambling revenue over recent years. The market’s total gaming revenue, which includes sports betting alongside casino gaming, has consistently set records as the state’s digital gambling sector continues to expand.
New Jersey legalized online casino gaming in 2013, becoming one of the first states to do so. The market has since grown into one of the largest regulated online gambling operations in the United States, with monthly online casino revenue regularly exceeding that of the land-based properties.
The $284.3 million jackpot total covers the period from January 1 through the most recent reporting date. Individual wins range from just over the $40,000 reporting threshold to seven-figure prizes, though the enforcement division’s public data does not identify individual winners.
