(Baltimore) — Maryland’s six casinos combined to generate $170,565,837 in gaming revenue during March 2022, the fourth-best single-month figure in the history of the state’s casino program. The total represents an increase of $1,386,821 (0.8%) compared to March 2021, when COVID-19 capacity restrictions were lifted.
Casino gaming contributions to the state in March 2022 totaled $71,970,242 an increase of $966,017 (1.4%) compared to March 2021.
Contributions to the Education Trust Fund (ETF) in March 2022 were $52,329,191, an increase of $700,595 (1.4%) compared to March 2021. Casino gaming revenues also support the communities and jurisdictions where the casinos are located, Maryland’s horse racing industry, and small, minority- and women-owned businesses.
