The snowiest month ever recorded in Atlantic City kept would-be gamblers frozen in their homes in February, contributing to 15.7 percent decrease in casino revenues. The 11 casinos in the nation's second-largest gambling market took in $261.6 million last month as three major snowstorms pounded the East Coast. The casinos took in $176.2 million at the slot machines, down 17.8 percent from last February, and another $85.4 million from table games, down 11 percent from last year. Every casino in Atlantic City reported a revenue drop, ranging from a whopping 32.6 percent decline at the Atlantic City Hilton Casino Resort to a 0.3 percent decline at Caesars Atlantic City.
