Maryland casino revenues dipped in May, comparatively speaking, as the state’s six casinos mostly saw percentage decreases, both collectively and individually, from the same month in 2022. The numbers were also a decline from the April Maryland casino revenue report.
For May, the Maryland casino industry had a little more than $169.4 million in revenue. That was a decrease of about $9.366 million, or 5.2%, from May 2022.

Calendar Quirk Might Be a Factor
However, it should be noted that a quirk in the calendar may have something to do with the same-month, year-over-year comparison. May 2022 benefitted from having five full weekends while May 2023 had just four full weekends.
Taxes paid to the state for May 2023 were more than $70.8 million (a decrease of 3.6% from May 2022) with almost $51.5 million of the tax total going toward education. Casino gaming contributions also go toward other purposes including Maryland’s horse racing industry. Gambing taxes also help support communities and jurisdictions where the casinos are located, and small, minority- and women-owned businesses.
The May revenues also trailed April 2023 when the six casinos generated $174.74 million in revenue from slots and tables games. Last month’s figure was a 3.1% drop from that. However, April also had five full weekends and that figure was the sixth-best single-month gaming revenue total since casino-style gambling debuted in Maryland in 2010.
There are no Maryland online casinos. Only six states have slots, table games and the like available through legal, regulated mobile casino (or iGaming) operators: West Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
