New Jersey's online gaming revenue rises in March

New Jersey's legal online casinos hauled in enough gaming revenue to post another banner month in March, and that helped the industry hit some crucial milestones — including $80 million in total tax revenue — according to analysts from PlayNJ.

The New Jersey Monthly Internet Gross Revenue Report, which was released Wednesday by the state's Division of Gaming Enforcement, showed that legal online casinos generated a record $21.7 million in gross revenue in March.

That is the first month revenue has exceeded $20 million, and it pushes New Jersey past $536.5 million in total revenue since the state legalized online casino games and poker in 2013.
