Plainridge Park Casino, MGM Springfield and Encore Boston Harbor cumulatively generated more than $102 million in gaming revenue, about $28.6 million of which will be due to the state. In terms of revenue, March was the best month on record for Encore Boston Harbor, the third-best month ever for MGM Springfield and the second-best month for Plainridge Park Casino since Encore opened, the Gaming Commission announced Friday.

Encore brought in $64.87 million last month, MGM reported a haul of $24.28 million and Plainridge took in about $12.94 million in March. Encore’s March gaming revenue translates into $16.2 million in state taxes and fees, MGM’s take will result in just more than $6 million for the state and Plainridge’s revenue will yield about $6.34 million for the state.
