This was a decrease in total profits from the $159 million in 2022, a decrease of over 20%. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-a-decline-in-profits\">Why a Decline in Profits?<\/h2>\n<p>Gross operating profits reported by the Division cover the amount earned before interest, taxes, depreciation, and additional expenses are paid. The decline in the second quarter\u2019s earnings is reportedly due to a few factors, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casinousa.com\/news\/atlantic-city-casino-employees-ratify-five-new-contracts-with-significant-raises\">new contracts for employees<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Analysts report that as labor expenses are increasing now and did not exist in July of last year, it creates more operational expenses and a decrease in earnings. The decline was expected due to this and additional factors, such as the overall cost of operations due to lingering inflation. <\/p>\n<p>The casinos profited despite the higher employment costs, which is an encouraging sign that earnings will remain on the up and up. A true sign of continued growth will be seen in the coming months and into 2024 as we compare this year\u2019s results. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"individual-casino-earning-breakdown\">Individual Casino Earning Breakdown <\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casinousa.com\/news\/hard-rock-atlantic-city-and-ocean-casino-resort-celebrate-five-years-in-operation\">Hard Rock<\/a><\/strong> brought in just over $30 million but was down 20% from 2022. <strong>Tropicana<\/strong> dipped around 18%, with an almost $25 million profit. <strong>Ocean Casino<\/strong> saw the opposite and earned around $24 million, a huge increase of around 54%. These were the only casinos to earn more in the second quarter than during the same time period pre-COVID-19 in 2019. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Harrah\u2019s<\/strong> was down over 15%, earning just over $18 million. <strong>Borgata<\/strong> was down, earning $12.3 million, a close to 71% decrease.
