The July figures for the Casino at Ocean Downs were released this
week, revealing the greatest month ever in the nearly two-year history
of the gaming facility along Route 589 just south of Ocean Pines.

Commission officials on Tuesday released the July figures for the three

Ocean Downs in July collected $5.75 million in gross revenue in July,
the single busiest month in the history of the facility.
