According to figures from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, the Borgata had a record-breaking month in July 2019 with a total gaming revenue of nearly $88 million – more than double any of the other eight casinos in New Jersey. Overall, the resort's gambling and sports betting revenue saw an increase of nearly 8%. 

The newest round of work at the Borgata comes after the casino spent $12 million on an online sports betting lounge, which was completed in June.
