Bonus TL;DR
- Delaware’s three land-based casinos experienced a softer month in September, generating a combined $34.4 million in revenue—a 5.4% year-over-year decline driven by a sharp 11.3% drop in table games and lower video lottery terminal (VLT) play across the state.
- While Delaware Park managed to hold its overall revenue flat at $15.2 million to lead the market, both Bally’s Dover and Harrington Casino posted significant year-over-year declines, with Bally’s Dover recording the steepest total revenue drop at 10% compared to the same month last year.
Delaware’s three casinos generated $34.4 million in revenue in September, down 5.4% from a year earlier, according to Delaware Lottery figures reported by CDC Gaming.
The monthly total was driven largely by video lottery terminals, which produced $30.8 million, down 4.7% year over year. Table games revenue came in at $3.6 million, a steeper 11.3% decline.
The results show a softer month across the state’s land-based casino market, with all three properties posting year-over-year declines in total revenue or holding roughly flat—underscoring how traditional retail venues navigate shifting consumer demand while digital channels, including sports wagering and online casino options, continue to reshape overall gaming revenue streams. Bally’s Dover recorded the biggest drop among the three casinos.
Delaware Park leads the market
Delaware Park posted the highest September revenue at $15.2 million, unchanged overall from the prior year.
Its VLT revenue reached $13.2 million, up 0.5%, while table games generated $2 million, down 5.6%.
That made Delaware Park the state’s top-performing property for the month and the only casino to show any year-over-year growth in a major category, with a small increase in VLT revenue.
Bally’s Dover posts steepest decline
Bally’s Dover reported $10.7 million in total September revenue, down 10% year over year, the largest overall decline among Delaware’s three casinos.
Its VLT revenue totaled $9.7 million, down 9.7%, while table games revenue fell to $1 million, down 12.6%.
For readers tracking the Bally brand, the Dover property’s performance stands out as the weakest of the three Delaware online casinos on a percentage basis for total revenue.
Harrington revenue falls as table games slide
Harrington Casino generated $8.4 million in September revenue, down 8% from the same month last year.
Its VLT revenue was $7.9 million, a 6.4% decline. Table games revenue dropped more sharply to $542,742, down 26.2%.
That gave Harrington the lowest total revenue of the state’s three casinos in September, while also marking the largest table games decline among the properties.
The September figures offer a snapshot of Delaware’s casino market heading into the final months of the year, with slot-style play continuing to account for the vast majority of revenue statewide.
