““Horseshoe Casino Baltimore saw its win increase 2.5 percent to $25 million while the Casino at Ocean Downs also finished July with a 2.5 percent increase to $6.6 million
”
Holywood Casino Perryville was he only Maryland gambling hall to finish July behind last year’s total. It was 1.9 percent lower at $6.8 million.
