MGM National Harbor had a slower November than last year

MGM National Harbor Casino, which leads Maryland’s six casinos for monthly gaming revenue, had a slower November this year, with gambling revenue down 1.6% from a year ago.

Gamblers placed $65.5 million in bets at MGM National Harbor’s 2,300 slot machines and 211 table games, almost $1.1 million less than November 2023.

Gaming revenue was mostly lower at Maryland’s casinos with the exception of Live! Casino & Hotel and Hollywood Casino. Live!, the second-largest casino by gaming revenue, had $60.3 million in bets in November, an increase of $2.3 million, or 3.9%, over last November.

Gaming revenue at Baltimore’s Horseshoe Casino fell 1.7% from a year ago to $14.3 million.

At the state’s three smaller casinos, gaming revenue was up 5.4% at Hollywood, down 6.9% at Ocean Downs, and down 8.8% at Rocky Gap.

All counted, Maryland’s six casinos generated $158 million from slot machines and table games in November, little changed from a year ago. Casino gaming contributions to the state’s total $68.9 million, up 4.2%.

Overall, the Baltimore and D.C. market rank No. 3 for gaming revenue, behind only the Las Vegas Strip and Atlantic City. MGM National Harbor is the top performing commercial casino outside of Nevada.
