ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -- Atlantic City's eight casinos saw their revenue increase by 2.3 percent in March, compared to a year ago.

But when the four casinos that shut down last year are included in the comparison, the city's gambling revenue was down 12.6 percent.

Figures released Tuesday by the state's Gaming Enforcement Division show the eight surviving casinos took in $203.8 million in March.

The Golden Nugget continued on a tear, as its March revenue was up by more than 41 percent. It continues to gain market share at least partly from customers who once patronized the now-closed casinos.

Caesars Interactive, the Internet gambling arm of the casino giant, saw its online revenue fall by 24.3 percent, and the Trump Taj Mahal was down nearly 23 percent to $14.7 million.
