New Jersey has collected more than $66 million in tax revenue since November of 2013.
Most of the revenue, however, has come from online slots and casinos games as online poker has lagged behind. Online poker has brought in just $112 million over three years.
The revenue from online casino games has consistently risen month to month and total $329 million over three years.
In the early days of online gambling, the Borgata led the way but the Golden Nugget has taken over the lead this year. Golden Nugget accounted for 25% of the total online gambling revenue generated in the entire market during October, according to USPoker. The state took in about $14.3 million from online gaming in October.
