New Jersey’s high-flying internet gambling market continues to smash records. But the amount of money won from in-person gamblers at seven of Atlantic City’s nine casinos is less than it was before the COVID19 pandemic. Figures released Tuesday by state gambling regulators show the casinos or their online arms won over $197 million from online casino games in March, setting another monthly record. And while not a record, sports betting, powered by the March Madness college basketball tournament, saw almost $1.33 billion worth of bets taken in March. That was the fourth-highest amount since sports betting became legal in 2018.
