BALTIMORE — Maryland's Casino revenue for March decreased by 57.9 percent to $68,657,232 from $94,605.616 at the same time last year.
A large factor came from a March 15 executive order by Governor Larry Hogan to close all six casinos to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
Of the total revenue from March, the State contributed $21,201,796 to the Education Trust Fund. Casino gaming revenues also support local communities and jurisdictions where the six casinos are located, as well as Maryland’s horse racing industry.
