"With nascent signs of improvement in the national economy starting to appear, Atlantic City's 11 casinos hoped their lengthy slump would ease as well. It didn't. Revenue from May at the 11 casinos was down 15.4 percent from a year ago. That doesn't match the record-breaking plunges recorded in February and March, which approached 20 percent, but it's clearly not the improvement the gambling halls had been looking for. The casinos took in $351.3 million in May, down from $415.3 million in May 2008. Slot machines accounted for $246.6 million, down 14.9 percent, while table games brought in $104.7 million, down 16.7 percent." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

Morton - maybe not recession proof, but just compared to Vegas? (which still appears to be packed with their valets full). - Jess
