Maryland casinos top $100m for third time; CDI buys Ocean Downs casino

After a so-so June, Maryland’s casinos roared back to life with another $100m+ performance in July.

According to the Maryland Gaming Control Board, the state’s five casinos earned total revenue of $103.8m last month, 5% higher than the same month last year.

July’s total is just shy of May’s record $104.4m but $10.5m more than June’s total. It’s also the third month this year – and third in the last four months – in which the revenue total has topped $100m.

As usual, the bulk of the tally came courtesy of Maryland Live, which reported just under $60.5m in slots and table revenue, up 6.2% year-on-year. Horseshoe Casino Baltimore was well back at $25m, up 2.5%. The three bit players ranked as follows: Hollywood Casino Perryville (($6.7m), Ocean Downs ($6.5m) and Rocky Gap ($5m).
