Maryland casinos have famously been a source of stable revenue for the state, producing funds that have gone towards funding school activities, elderly care, and leisure. What happens when funds like these begin to slow? This is the question being faced by Maryland officials, who have noticed a dip in revenue that has occurred along with the change of seasons.
According to the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Commission, revenues for September have dropped by a noticeable 5%. This comes along with broader social and economic conditions, which may be forcing players to adjust their spending and leisure habits. This drop follows several months of steady growth in the sector.
