Maryland’s Gaming Program earned a cumulative revenue of over $ 12.3 billion in September 2021 from September 2010. Economic scenario for casinos in Maryland sees a recovering trend in 2021 The increase in earnings for the six casinos has come in the wake of a resurgence for traditional, brick and mortar casinos. These traditional casinos have experienced a resurgence in business after low earnings that were reported during the height of the pandemic on account of low capacity as well as frequent closures on account of the restrictions placed on their operation. Operators in the state struggled and have experienced major losses on account of the pandemic in 2020.
