Tropicana was the exception. Its gross operating profit soared to US$ 32.09 million this year from US$ 1.98 million thanks to the way it accounted for a property-tax settlement.
Revel, Atlantic City's newest casino, cut its gross operating loss nearly in half, to US$ 21.75 million from US$ 40.78 million.
Also noteworthy are the results of the Golden Nugget, which has had strong increases in revenue. Despite that growth, the casino between the Borgata and Harrah's in the Marina District had a gross operating loss of US$ 1.8 million in the quarter.
