The latest data released by New Jersey state officials reveals that the casino, which is now known as Ocean Resort Casino AC, took in $89,000 from its poker tables last month.

The $2.4 billion Atlantic City casino formerly known as Revel, which reopened in late June with an eight-table poker room, took in $89,000 from its poker tables last month, as reported by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement

The room trailed Borgata ($1.97 million), Harrah’s ($265,000), Bally’s ($252,000), Tropicana ($209,000) and Golden Nugget ($104,000) among the brick-and-mortar rooms, Card Playerreports.

Ocean Resort Casino, which closed in 2014 after about two years in business, didn’t previously have a poker room. Revel once tried to become the destination for high-stakes poker on the East Coast. However, it closed its 37-table poker room in 2013.

Denver-based Integrated Properties recently bought Revel for $200 million from a Florida-based real estate developer who had acquired it in 2016 for just $82 million.

Also reopening in late June was Hard Rock Atlantic City, formerly the Trump Taj Mahal. The Taj had a poker room, but the rebooted casino opened without one.

Atlantic City is home to nine brick-and-mortar casinos.

The gambling hub’s live poker market was worth about $2.9 million last month. The online poker rooms approved by New Jersey generated $1.84 million in July.
