The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) has published the state’s December casino and sports betting results.
Its three casinos, Plainridge Park Casino, MGM Springfield and Encore Boston Harbor, yielded nearly $102.2m in gross gaming revenue (GGR) last month.
Slot machines accounted for nearly $70.1m of the state’s total GGR, while table games brought in another $32.1m.
Encore Boston Harbor was the top earner in December and generated more than half of the state’s combined casino GGR. The casino reported a monthly revenue of $64.9m.
MGM Springfield ended the month with nearly $22.7m in revenue from table games and slots. Plainridge Park Casino brought in close to $14.6m in total revenue during December.
Good to know: Retail sports betting became legal in Massachusetts in January 2023, and the state welcomed the online sports betting market in March 2023
Last month, all three casinos paid a total of nearly $29m to the state in taxes.
Sports betting last month generated a $788.3m handle, with $776.8m coming from bets placed online and another $11.5m from retail licensees.
Online and retail sports betting locations generated close to $57.5m in taxable gaming revenue in December. The state collected almost $11.5m in taxes from online and retail sports betting last month.
In other state news, the MGC recently released an official seal of approval that licensed operators around the state must include on their digital platforms.
The regulator developed and adopted the new seal “to be a clear signal to those who choose to gamble that they are accessing a platform licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by the MGC” and described this move as a “significant step.”
The displayed seal can help players within Massachusetts’ borders distinguish which operators offer safe and legal ways to gamble.
