Maine Casino Revenue Rises 3.5% to $15.6 Million in July

Maine’s two commercial casinos combined for $15.6 million in gross revenue in July, a 3.5% increase year-over-year, according to figures released by the Maine Gambling Control Unit. The gains were led by strong slot machine performance at both properties, even as table games revenue slipped across the state.

Slot machines drove the bulk of the monthly haul, generating $13.6 million, up 7.1% from a year ago. Table games told a different story, falling 16.5% to $1.9 million, continuing a pattern of softer table-game numbers that has shown up repeatedly in Maine’s casino revenue reports this year.

Oxford Casino Leads the State

Oxford Casino posted the higher of the two totals in July, bringing in $9.6 million, a 5.7% increase from the same month last year. Slots at Oxford were especially strong, climbing 10.9% to $8.6 million. Table games moved in the opposite direction, dropping 23.4% to $1.1 million.

Hollywood Casino, located in Bangor, generated $5.9 million in July, essentially flat compared to a year earlier. Slot revenue there rose 1.3% to $5 million, while table games dipped 6.4% to $870,071.

A Volatile Year for Table Games

The July numbers extend a trend that has defined Maine’s casino market for much of the year: slot machines steadily gaining ground while table games revenue swings unpredictably from month to month. In June, the state’s two casinos combined for $13.8 million, up 1.1% year-over-year, with slots rising 2.3% while table games fell 6.1%. May brought a similar split, with casino-wide revenue essentially flat at $14.9 million as slots gained 2% and table games sank 15.6%.

That table-games softness isn’t new to 2026 either — March saw a 3.7% decline in table revenue even as the broader market dipped 1.3% overall. The consistency of that pattern across multiple months suggests a genuine shift in player behavior at Maine’s casinos rather than a one-month blip, with slots increasingly carrying the load for both operators.

What It Means for Maine’s Gaming Market

With July’s growth, Maine’s commercial casino market appears to be building on the momentum it showed heading into the summer months, a season that typically brings more foot traffic to both Oxford and Bangor. Slot performance in particular has now outpaced table games in each of the last several reporting periods, a trend operators will be watching closely as the state moves into the fall months.

Maine remains one of the smaller regulated gaming markets in the Northeast, with just two commercial casinos operating under the oversight of the Maine Gambling Control Unit. Bettors and casino visitors in the state continue to rely primarily on Oxford Casino and Hollywood Casino for in-person gaming, as the state has yet to authorize online casinos, unlike several neighboring states in the region.
