Delaware Sportsbetting Handle Drops Again in April

Sportsbetting in Delaware continues to struggle, as handle fell to its lowest level in eight months in April. This news was partially offset by online casino wagering though, as handle increased.

Delaware Park was the top sportsbook in the state, with $1.9 million in handle and $195,226 in revenue. Bally's Dover was next with $873,791 in handle and $93,506 in revenue. Harrington Raceway was in third spot with $458,575 in handle and $46,728 in revenues.

In terms of online casino gambling, handle was up 6.2% from last year to $39.5 million. Video lottery games (including slots) generated $24.1 million in handle, with table games generating $11.4 million in handle.

Revenues from online casino gambling was $1.3 million, up 8.3% from last year. Video lottery games generated $1.1 million of this, while table games generated $195,118. Poker rake for the month was $44,540.
