The president of the city’s largest casino workers union said “alarm bells should be ringing in Atlantic City and in Trenton” over recent revenue reports that show a drop in in-person visits to the resort’s gaming halls.
Donna DeCaprio, president of Unite Here Local 54, said the February 2024 gaming revenue results released by the state Division of Gaming Enforcement last month “confirms what those of us have been warning about over the past year — that attendance in our brick-and-mortar buildings is going in the wrong direction.”
“It is incredibly troubling to see that six of the nine gaming properties have posted declines of casino-win compared to February 2023 and year-to-date compared to 2023,” DeCaprio said Wednesday.
