Maryland’s seven sports betting venues contributed more than $477,000 to the state’s coffers in the month of August, according to figures released by Maryland Lottery and Gaming.
Five casinos and two other facilities handled $18.6 million last month, with $15.4 million in winnings going back to bettors.
After promotional plays and other amounts are taken out from the betting facilities’ share, the state receives 15% of the “taxable win” amount, which was just shy of $3.2 million in August.
