Maryland casino revenue climbed nearly 10 percent in May , with the bulk of gaming coming from Maryland Live Casino. The state’s four casinos brought in $75.8 million during the month, up $6.6 million from $69.2 million in May 2012. Maryland Live, the state’s largest casino, generated $59.5 million, up 8.1 percent from $4.5 million a year before.

The casino operates 4,204 slot machines and 189 table games. Hollywood Casino Perryville’s revenue dropped 8.7 percent, or $748,272, to $7.8 million in May. The casino operates 1,158 slot machines and 22 table games. Casino at Ocean Downs brought in $4.7 million, down 1.2 percent from May 2013. The gaming venue houses 800 slot machines.

Altogether, Maryland casino revenue is a combination of the Horseshoe Casino Baltimore, Hollywood Casino in Perryville, Ocean Downs, MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, and the Rocky Gap Casino Resort in Flintstone.

Additionally, Governor Martin O’Malley had promised to look to expand Maryland gambling in 2012. And in February of that year Senator Douglas JJ Peters introduced legislation in the State Senate that would legalize an additional casino in Prince George’s County.

That legislation would legalize a certain number of slot machines and table games in the county, along with table games for two casinos, and three not operating as of yet. This story on Maryland casino revenue was originally published on the Biz Journals website.
