Horseshoe Casino Baltimore snaps losing streak in January

Maryland gaming venue Horseshoe Casino Baltimore‘s New Year’s resolution was apparently ‘try not to suck.’

Figures released Tuesday by the Maryland Lottery & Gaming agency show statewide casino gaming revenue of just under $137m, a 7.2% rise over the same month last year but well below the $148.4m the casinos generated in December 2018.

As always, MGM Resorts’ National Harbor property led all comers with $56.2m, up 12% from the same month last year and representing a 41% share of January’s overall revenue pie. Cordish Gaming’s Live! Casino & Hotel retained its now-standard runner-up status with $46.3m in January, a 6.3% year-on-year improvement.

Horseshoe Casino Baltimore, the joint venture of Caesars Entertainment and JACK Entertainment, bucked its seemingly perpetual decline in January, rising a modest 0.6% to $20.2m.
