Good overview of the decision here and good background here. The decision held that while Ivey successfully defeated the fraud counts, he was found to have breached the implied contract with Borgata and is thus liable for the damages sustained by Borgata as a result of his breach.
Borgata will very likely be entitled to recover all of its losses from Ivey. What exactly they will allege as losses is yet to be seen, but Borgata will be submitting a brief setting forth damages soon and Ivey will have 20 days to file a responding brief.
Certainly the base of the damages will be the amounts won by Ivey during his 2012 visits to Borgata, which were summarized by the author of the above article as follows:
