Maryland’s six casinos generated 134.5 million in revenue this year through September, a 38.6 percent increase compared to 2016.
The increase in statewide revenues is mostly driven by the MGM National Harbor property, which opened in December. The MGM property generated $49.3 million in revenue in September alone.
The state’s other five casinos generated $11.9 million last month, a decline of 12.3 percent year-on-year. The state’s two other large casinos, Live and Horseshoe Baltimore, were down 12.9 percent and 22.1 percent, respectively. The three smaller casinos posted revenue increases.
The month continued a record-breaking year for poker in Maryland. The state’s four brick-and-mortar poker rooms generated $3.6 million in revenue from their tables in September. That represented a 33 percent increase compared to August 2016.
The state record for poker revenue in a single month was set at $3.92 million back in January, which was also a 33 percent year-over-year gain.
The rooms have raked $33.5 million through the first nine months of 2017.
