As Horseshoe grows, revenue declines at Maryland's other 4 casinos

Maryland’s five casinos brought in a record $91 million in March, but monthly revenue declined at all but one.

Year-over-year, statewide casino revenue increased 16.9 percent, or $13.2 million, from March 2014, according to the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency. The Horseshoe Casino Baltimore carried those gains. Excluding the Horseshoe, which opened in August, the state’s other four casinos saw revenue decline by 14.8 percent, or $11.5 million.

The Horseshoe is still undershooting its monthly revenue projections, which were expected to average at least $31 million. However, the South Baltimore gaming venue saw its highest monthly revenue yet at $24.7 million in March. The Horseshoe's previous best month was November when it brought in $23.4 million.

The MD casinos are all about gambling. At least in vegas you get drinks while you gamble and they have 5 start places to eat and world class shows to see. Gambling in Maryland makes me feel like an addict.

Yeah its a drug. It does that. States legal way of peddling legal dope. If you feel like an addict then maybe you should get help. Seems like you already know you have a problem.
