Delaware Casino Revenue Rises 26.5% to $47.3M in May

Delaware’s three commercial casinos reported combined revenue of $47.3 million in May, reflecting a 26.5% increase compared to the same month last year. The latest data from the Delaware Lottery reveals substantial growth across both video lottery terminals (VLTs) and table games, highlighting a strong month for the state’s gaming industry.

Video lottery terminals accounted for the bulk of the revenue, generating $42.9 million, which represents a 26.1% year-over-year increase. Table games contributed $4.5 million, marking a 30.4% rise from May 2025. Among the three casinos, Delaware Park led the market with total revenue of $20.5 million, up 29.5%. Its VLT revenue reached $18.1 million, a 27.9% increase, while table games revenue surged 43.4% to $2.4 million.

Bally’s Dover followed with $15.3 million in revenue, a 21% increase year-over-year. VLT revenue at Bally’s rose 19.7% to $14 million, and table games climbed 35.6% to $1.3 million. Harrington Casino reported $11.6 million in revenue, up 29.1%. This growth was driven by a 32.3% increase in VLT revenue to $10.8 million, although table games revenue declined 5.4% to $712,357.

The Delaware Lottery’s figures indicate that VLTs remain the dominant revenue source within the state’s commercial casino sector. The strong performance at Delaware Park and Bally’s Dover underscores their leading positions in the market.

Delaware Park’s significant gains in both VLT and table games revenues contributed notably to the overall increase. The casino’s table games segment, in particular, showed remarkable growth, outpacing the other properties with a 43.4% rise. Bally’s Dover also demonstrated solid gains, especially in table games, which increased by over a third compared to the previous year.

Harrington Casino’s revenue growth was primarily fueled by its VLT segment, which rose by 32.3%. However, the casino experienced a slight decline in table games revenue, dropping 5.4% year-over-year. Despite this, Harrington’s overall revenue increase contributed to the positive trend across Delaware’s commercial casinos.

This surge in Delaware’s casino revenues comes amid broader developments in the US gaming industry. Caesars Entertainment recently introduced the Cash Eruption game family to its brick-and-mortar casinos, bringing popular online titles to physical casino floors and expanding player options (CDC Gaming).

Meanwhile, a notable story from California highlights a South Los Angeles medical student winning a $2.2 million home from Pechanga Resort Casino, illustrating the diverse promotional activities within the US casino sector (CDC Gaming).

In the regional casino market, ownership changes continue with the sale of Pass Casino in Henderson to the owners of Emerald Island and Rainbow Club. The property is scheduled to close for a year-long renovation starting August 1 (CDC Gaming).

Delaware’s commercial casinos have demonstrated resilience and growth in both VLT and table game segments, contrasting with mixed results in other US markets. The state’s gaming sector continues to benefit from strong player demand and strategic developments.
