June represented a down month for Massachusetts casinos.

Gross gaming revenue (GGR) totaled $96.1 million in June, marking the third straight month Massachusetts casinos fell below $100 million. This was a 1.9% dip from May when casinos reported just under $98 million in GGR.

It was also the third month in a row in which GGR fell from the previous year. Casinos reported $100.6 million in GGR in June 2023, a 4.5% year-over-year decline.

June’s revenue brought Fiscal Year 2024 GGR to $1.18 million, a 0.2% improvement from FY 2023.

Massachusetts is one of the smallest US states area-wise and offers just three retail casinos within its 10,554-square-mile territory. It ranks 16th by population, with around 7 million residents, but Massachusetts online casinos are prohibited by law.
