Maryland casino revenue rises in last month pre-National Harbor

Casinos in Maryland continued their winning streak in November, the last month before the new MGM National Harbor opens to the public.

Figures released Monday by the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency show the state’s five casinos brought in just under $92m in November, 2.5% more than the same month last year. The year-on-year gain extended the state’s revenue winning streak to 12 straight months.

As ever, Maryland Live! led the revenue chart with $50.2m, although this was down 2.7% year-on-year due to a $4m slots decline. Caesars’ Horseshoe Casino Baltimore maintained second place with $28.5m, up an impressive 16% year-on-year thanks to its slots improving by $3.6m.

Hollywood Casino Perryville ranked third with $5.6m, down 7% year-on-year, while Ocean Downs and Rocky Gap tied at just under $3.8m apiece, which represented a 5.6% gain for Rocky Gap and a 1.7% decline at Ocean Downs.
