The US$ 80.6 million recorded by the state’s five casinos beat the previous monthly high of US$ 77.8 million from just four casinos in March of this year. Then, the state’s four privately owned casinos -Hollywood Casino Perryville in Cecil County, Casino at Ocean Downs in Worcester County, Maryland Live Casino in Anne Arundel County, and Rocky Gap Casino Resort in Allegany County-had combined gaming revenues of US$ 7,850,831.
Another project is on its way. MGM Resorts is looking to open its casino in Prince George’s County sometime in 2016. It will come with a price tag of US$ 925 million. If you exclude the Horseshoe, gaming revenues still increased 5.4 percent in August, year-over-year. Gaming revenues are expected to keep rising for the foreseeable future.
Maryland Live is still the state’s largest casino in terms of revenue. The property generated US$ 57.3 million of the US$ 80.6 million figure in August.
