Maryland Casinos Generate $148.5 Million In February Gaming Revenue
Maryland’s six casinos had total gaming revenue from slots and table games of $148,493,335 in February 2026, as traditional machines continue to compete with the growing popularity of online slots.
This represents a 4.3% decrease, or $6,656,962, compared to February 2025, continuing a downward trend in statewide casino revenues.
Contributions To The State
Casino gaming is a major contributor to both the Maryland community and public funds, even as some players also explore licensed online casinos in the USA for additional gaming options.
In February 2026, the total contribution from casino gaming was $63,635,265 (down 2.4% from the same month last year), of which $45,924,029 went to the Education Trust Fund (down 2.5% from the previous year).
In addition to supporting education, casino gaming revenues also support local jurisdictions, the horse racing industry, and small minority- and women-owned businesses, helping sustain a broad-based economic impact throughout Maryland.
Ongoing Consumer Demand
Through the first eight months of Fiscal Year 2026 (July 2025 through February 2026):
- Total casino revenue: $1,264,440,712, down 2.2% from FY2025
- Total contributions to the state: $543,157,515, down 1.4% year-over-year
These numbers reflect a combination of ongoing consumer demand for gaming and ongoing challenges in maintaining revenue growth in an incredibly competitive industry.
“Analysts state that although yearly revenue figures are slightly down from last year, several casinos had differing results.”
Casinos Experience Revenue Bump
The six privately-owned casinos in Maryland offer a blend of table games and slots.
Each casino’s revenue for February 2026 is as follows:
- MGM National Harbor (Prince George’s County, 2,270 slots, 214 tables): $64,843,857, down 3.1% from February 2025
- Live! Casino & Hotel (Anne Arundel County, 3,739 slots, 179 tables): $52,007,713, down 8.8%
- Horseshoe Casino Baltimore (Baltimore City, 1,400 slots, 115 tables): $14,240,642, up 1.1%
- Hollywood Casino Perryville (Cecil County, 647 slots, 18 tables): $6,860,557, down 4.0%
- Ocean Downs Casino (Worcester County, 900 slots, 18 tables): $6,309,625, up 3.3%
- Rocky Gap Casino Resort (Allegany County, 627 slots, 12 tables): $4,230,942, up 8.9%
Due to the market shift, all casinos are experiencing bumps in revenue.
Smaller casinos have all received small bumps in revenue, too.
However, bigger casinos such as MGM and Live! Casino have indicated that performance is less related to how many people come to play and more to how they operate their business relative to how players choose to play.
