Smith said during a conference call on the Las Vegas company's second quarter earnings that he expected the recent downturn in online gambling revenue in New Jersey to end when cooler weather returns.
Borgata's share of online gaming revenues in New Jersey was 29 percent, even greater than its 23 percent share of brick-and-mortar gambling in Atlantic City, the company said.
