MGM National Harbor had the smallest decline in February gaming revenue, down 0.4% to $65.6 million. Live! Casino & Hotel remains the state’s second-busiest with $55.7 million in February revenue, down 6.3%.

The largest decline was at Baltimore’s Horseshoe Casino. Its $16.3 million in February gaming revenue was down 8.1% from a year earlier.

Maryland’s three smaller casinos, Hollywood Casino, Ocean Downs and Rocky Gap Casino, all had lower gaming revenue than a year ago.
