Trump Taj Mahal

While the amount of money won from gamblers at traditional brick-and-mortar casinos was down slightly in November, Atlantic City's casinos had a positive month compared to last November thanks to strong internet gambling numbers.

The closure of four Atlantic City casinos in 2014 has led to better gaming revenues for most of the remaining eight, but it may have also pushed some gamblers out of the state for good.

All but one casino in Atlantic City saw an increase in gross operating profit during the second quarter of this year.

After a brutal year for Atlantic City's casino industry, with four venues closing and 8,000 jobs lost, those who were laid off have gone in different directions.

As a bankruptcy court judge approved the sale of Revel to a Florida real estate developer, Stockton University students protested in front of its neighbor over Trump Entertainment's disapproval of turning Showboat into a college campus.

It seemed like a perfect solution to use an empty casino hotel: turn it into a college. But Stockton University's plans to open a campus at the former Showboat Casino Hotel have hit a massive roadblock in the form of Trump Taj Mahal.

The bitter cold and snow of February was a huge hurdle for Atlantic City Casinos to jump over.

Following a brutal 2014 where several Atlantic City casinos closed leaving thousands unemployed, the eight remaining casinos appear to be doing better.

The new team in place to dig Atlantic City out of financial ruin has said that talk about bankruptcy would be premature at this time, but depending on who you ask, it may be the best possible move for the struggling town.

The news hit many tied to the Taj Mahal like a ton of bricks Thursday afternoon, billionaire investor Carl Icahn pulled out of a deal that would have kept the Taj open.
