Under the same 50% restrictions, MGM National Harbor in Prince George’s County reported a 2.5% rise in revenues over April 2019. Live! Casino, while not facing those constraints, still had to reduce seating to meet social-distancing guidelines.
Horseshoe was limited last month to 50% capacity by order of Mayor Brandon Scott. The Russell Street gambling house reported revenues of $19.7 million, a decrease of $1,350 from the total in April 2019.īy comparison, Live! Casino (formerly known as Maryland Live) reported $58.2 million in revenues, up 22% from April 2019, according to statistics released by the gaming commission.
(All of the casinos were closed last April to reduce the spread of the coronavirus they began restricted re-openings in June.) The exception was Baltimore’s Horseshoe Casino, whose revenues remained flat compared to April 2019. With Covid restrictions loosened, five of Maryland’s six casinos reported some of their best returns ever last month, totaling $162.1 million, the State Lottery and Gaming Control Agency reported today.
