Despite casino revenue dipping more than 30% in 2020 compared with the previous year, Maryland casinos held up better compared with other markets across the country, according to a new report from the American Gaming Association.
Last year marked the first time since 2010 that Maryland lost revenue in casino gaming across its six venues, with $1.2 billion compared with $1.7 billion in 2019, the report said.
The association said MGM National Harbor, near Washington, D.C., and Live!

The report noted an edge the casinos had: stronger earnings in the fall.
