LOS ANGELES, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Gamblers lost $356 million at casinos in Atlantic City in September, 15.1 percent less than than the same month a year earlier, New Jersey's gambling regulator said on Friday.

The 11 casinos in the second-largest U.S. gambling market, including those owned by Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc TRMP.O and a joint venture between MGM Mirage (MGM.N) and Boyd Gaming Corp (BYD.N), won $244.7 million at slot machines and another $111.2 million at table games, the New Jersey Casino Control Commission said.

Slot revenue declined 18.6 percent while table revenue fell 6.2 percent, the regulator said. (Reporting by Deena Beasley; Editing by Tim Dobbyn)
