BALTIMORE (AP) - Casino’s in Maryland are seeing an increase in revenue for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic shut their doors for three months.
The Baltimore Sun reported Monday that the casinos brought in more than $1.4 million during this past September than they did during the same month last year.
The Maryland Lottery and Gaming Commission said the state’s six casinos made a combined $143,709,268 in September 2020 compared with $142,223,137 in 2019. That makes for a 1% increase.
Casinos were closed by Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan in the middle of March to help slow the spread of the coronavirus. The establishments were allowed to reopen at 50% capacity on June 19.
