ATLANTIC CITY - Gambling floors aren't the only places where Atlantic City casinos are on a losing streak. Revenue at casino parking garages fell nearly 6 percent in fiscal 2008, which ended June 30, state Treasury Department figures show.

The $35 million total was down from more than $37 million in fiscal 2007. Gambling winnings for the casinos were down by a similar percentage as more players seemed to choose slots parlors in Pennsylvania and New York.

The garages charge a minimum of $3 per vehicle. The state's Casino Reinvestment Development Authority can take up to $2.50 of that.
