Maybe I'm not reading closely enough, but what you posted seems to show:
- Overall revenues are almost identical to last year once data from the Sands is taken out.
- Borgata's revenue continues to grow; isn't think the sort of casino we are interest in when speculating on the the future development of AC?

"For the first 10 months of the year, casinos won $4.2 billion, down 5.0 percent from the $4 billion won in the same period last year."

I'm not a math major, but the press release is wrong. It is a 5% increase from last year.

For real - someone at the NJCCC should proofread and copyedit their press releases before sending them out to the general public.

Most amazingly, all of pocketpared's posts are about AC turning into a wasteland

Table revenue is up 7% becuase the took all the $5 tables out back and burned them.

Casinos fail to understand that you make more off $5 that are full then $10 tables with a dealer standing there with no players. A good example is watch how many players leave when the pit boss increases a craps table from $5 to $10.
