BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Maryland’s casinos made $130,377,478 in gaming revenue during November, according to Maryland Lottery and Gaming.

It’s a 7.4% decrease in comparison to November of last year when they made $140,835,580.

The COVID-10 pandemic has led to capacity limitations of 50% at five casinos and 25% at Horseshoe Casino in Baltimore.

The decrease in revenue means the casinos contributed 9.1% less this November than last November.

Casinos were closed on March 16 when the state made efforts to stop the spread of coronavirus. They reopened on June 19 with capacity limitations and new cleaning protocols.
