Maryland Betting Revenues Slip in July

The state of Maryland saw its gaming revenues drop 2.6% in July when compared to next year, with land casinos generating $169.8 million.

Maryland has six land casinos in operation, with MGM National Harbor generating $72 million during that period, leading the market. Live! Casino & Hotel was next with $62.6 million, while Horseshow Casino Baltimore had $13.3 million in revenue, marking a 16.9% drop from last year.

Ocean Downs Casino, Hollywood Casino Perryvillle, and Rocky Gap Casino Resort rounded out the market, with revenues of $9.6 million, $7.3 million, and $5 million respectively. No casino in the market posted an increase in revenues from the year prior.

Sportsbetting revenues have varied throughout the year, and have largely matched casino performance during that time.

A reason for the drop in revenues wasn't publicly given by the state's gaming regulator, the Maryland State Lottery & Gaming Control Agency.

Contributions to the state's programs for the month due to taxes paid came in at $72.2 million, down 1.4%.
