The Massachusetts Gaming Commission has released the November casino revenue. Despite the favorable conditions for bettors in October, sports wagering accrual wins decreased by $10 million.
As for the taxable gaming revenue, Massachusetts casinos hit 143 million dollars for sports betting. The number was down by 7.7% compared to the 155.8 million dollars generated in October.
According to the report, the 8 mobile and online sports casinos and the 3 in-person casinos generated an accrual win of 50.6 million dollars. Similarly, players wagered over 654.4 million dollars in the month.
