Just under a year ago, Ocean City business members and dignitaries joined Oceans Downs Casino officials to clip a celebratory ribbon launching sports betting kiosks inside the gambling facility on Route 589.
Now, according to data from the Maryland State Lottery & Gaming Control Agency, the casino has netted more than $1.4 million in revenue from bets on college and national football, baseball, basketball, soccer and other sporting events.
Ocean Downs General Manager Bobbi Sample said in an email last week that the NFL and NBA have seemed to generate the most wagers over the last year at the 20 Twinspires Sportsbook kiosks in front of Poseidon’s Pub inside the casino.
