ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey’s robust sports betting industry saw a big decline in June, with revenue down nearly 24% from a year earlier.

State gambling regulators say that overall, combined revenue from sports betting, internet gambling and in-person casino games was up 7.4% in June, to more than $491 million.
