Revenues Down Slightly At Mass.' Lone Gambling Facility
Revenues were down slightly last month at Massachusetts' lone gambling facility.
The Plainridge Park Casino in Plainville generated more than $15 million in gross gambling revenues in August, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission reported this week.
That's down from about $18 million in July, which was the combination slots parlor and harness racing track's first full month of operation.
The slots parlor was expected to generate about $200 million in the first full year of operation.
The state collects 49 percent of gross gambling revenues from the facility, meaning it expects to collect about $98 million from Plainridge after a year. To date, it has pulled in over $19 million.
The gambling hall opened June 24. Two larger resort casinos by MGM and Wynn are expected to open in Massachusetts in 2018.
