Massachusetts casinos reported just under $98 million in gross gaming revenue (GGR) in May. It was the second month in a row with casino revenue below $100 million after exceeding that mark three times in four months, dating back to December 2023.
Casino revenue grew by 0.5% from $97.5 million in April, but it fell 0.7% short of the $98.7 million reported in May 2023.
Tax revenue totaled more than $27.9 million, a 0.9% increase from April’s $27.7 million and a 0.8% boost from May 2023’s $27.8 million.
Massachusetts has three retail casinos, all licensed and regulated by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission. Massachusetts online casinos are prohibited.
Two of those casinos are Category 1 resort-casinos, Encore Boston Harbor and MGM Springfield. These two properties are larger than the state’s only Category 2 slots parlor, Plainridge Park Casino.
