Maryland casinos brought in $84.9 million in January

Maryland's five casinos generated $84.9 million in revenue in January.

Excluding the Horseshoe Casino Baltimore, casino revenue at the state's four other casinos fell last month by $4.41 million, or 6.7 percent, according to the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency. But with the Horseshoe, the state's total casino revenue grew 28.3 percent.

The Horseshoe brought in $23.2 million, up from the $22.9 million it generated in December. The South Baltimore casino is still trailing projections that it would average more than $31 million in monthly revenue. Horseshoe's best month so far was November when it generated $23.3 million in revenue.

Maryland Live! Casino, the state's largest gaming venue, generated $49.5 million, an 8 percent decrease from January 2014 when the casino generated $53.7 million.
