Maryland's five casinos generated USD 84.9 M in revenue in January

The Horseshoe brought in US$ 23.2 million, up from the US$ 22.9 million it generated in December. The South Baltimore casino is still trailing projections that it would average more than US$ 31 million in monthly revenue. Horseshoe's best month so far was November when it generated US$ 23.3 million in revenue.

Maryland Live! Casino, the state's largest gaming venue, generated US$ 49.5 million, an 8 percent decrease from January 2014 when the casino generated US$ 53.7 million. Both Maryland Live! and the Horseshoe will switch up their mix of slot machines and table games during the next few months in an effort to cater to the region's table game demand. Each property will get rid of 300 slot machines by April. The Horseshoe will add 30 more table games and Maryland Live! will add 13.

Of the state's three smaller casinos, the Casino at Ocean Downs, was the only venue to grow revenue last month. It generated US$ 3.38 million in January, up 6.6 percent from January 2014.

Hollywood Casino Perryville's revenue decreased 4.9 percent from January 2014, falling to US$ 6 million from US$ 6.3 million. And Rocky Gap Casino Resort's revenue fell slightly to US$ 2.97 million, a 1.8 percent slip from US$ 3.03 million in January 2014.
