Harrington had an $80,000 decline in revenue, and that would’ve put monthly growth in the negative had Delaware Park and Bally’s Dover not tallied gains of around $83,000. Bally’s had its best online casino revenue month since December 2022.
Overall, casino revenue ticked up 0.16% in September; it’s a small win considering five of the past eight months have seen drops in monthly revenue.
Year-on-year, revenue for Delaware’s online casinos fell around $200,000 from $1.3 million in September 2022 to $1.1 million this past month.
