Borgata's online revenue was $3.1m – a 27.5 per cent market share - up slightly on a per-day basis from March.

Keith Smith, president and CEO of Boyd Gaming, which co-owns Borgata with MGM International, said: "So far, we have created more than 55,000 online accounts and nearly 75 per cent are players who have not visited Borgata in at least a year.

“And we are starting to convert these players into new customers of our land-based business; to date, nearly 10 per cent of them have made at least one trip to Borgata.”
