Casino revenues in Maryland for July topped $174 million, but the month’s results paled a bit compared to the same month in 2022.
For July 2023, the state’s six casinos generated revenues of $174.23 million. That was down about $7.18 million, or about 4%, from July 2022. However, July 2022 was the second-best month in the 13-year history of casino gambling in Maryland, which set up a difficult same-month, year-over-year comparison.
In a month-to-month comparison, July saw a 6.5% rise from the $163.7 million in the June Maryland casino revenue report.
July also marked the third time in 2023 that the state’s casino revenue topped $170 million. The highest marks this year were in March ($176.5 million) and April ($174.7 million), according to Maryland Lottery and Gaming figures.
The casino gaming contribution to the state in July 2023 was about $73.18 million, a drop of $2.89 million, or 3.8%. from the same month a year ago. Of the total, about $52.74 million went toward education with the rest supporting the communities and jurisdictions where the casinos are located, the state’s horse racing industry, and small, minority- and women-owned businesses.
Unlike brick-and-mortar outlets, there are no legal, regulated Maryland online casinos.
