Maryland Casino Revenues Up

Don Rush

Maryland casinos brought in $57.1 million last month.

That’s up from the same period last year.

$42.8 million of that money is slated to go to the Education Trust Fund.

Additional revenue will also be provided to support the communities where the casinos are located.  

WBOC reports that Ocean Downs saw an uptick in revenue this year of 15.5 percent over last year bring in $5.7 million.
