Gaming revenues set record

The last three months rank as the top three for state gaming revenues since legal betting began more than six years ago, cumulatively generating nearly 10% of all of the gaming tax revenue collected to date.

In July, Plainridge Park Casino, MGM Springfield and Encore Boston Harbor counted a total of $95.74 million in revenue and paid a record $27 million in taxes and fees to the state.

August is the secondbest month yet with $92 million in casino revenue and $26.15 million in state taxes.

Then September, with $89 million in revenue and $25.1 million for the state, was still the thirdbest month on record, according to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission.
