Even with its newest gleaming casino bringing in more money, Atlantic City's lengthy losing streak stretched into July.

The city's casinos won $308.2 million from gamblers in July, down 9.5 percent from a year ago, according to a monthly revenue report issued Friday by the state Division of Gaming Enforcement.

The month continues a losing streak that began after the first casino in Pennsylvania opened in November 2006.

The slide continued even as Revel, a casino that opened with much fanfare in April, boosted its month-to-month revenues. The newest gambling hall brought in $17.5 million from table games and slot machines in July — up from $14.9 million in June.

The $17.5 million that Revel generated from its slot machines and table games was just a tad better than the $14.9 million it made in June - but still significantly below the $25 million to $30 million that Wall Street projected it needs to stay solvent and pay its bonds.

"We had expected them to do significantly better in July given it was one of the strongest seasonal months," said gaming analysts John Kempf of RBC Capital Markets L.L.C. on Friday.

To put it in context, market leading Borgata generated $54 million last month - triple Revel's figure. Borgata opened at a cost of $1.1 billion in the city's Marina District in July 2003.
