Delaware Sees Record Internet Gambling In AprilState's Three Operators Win $267,801 During Month |
|
March was a record for Delaware online gambling. April now holds the current record.
The state’s three online casino operators won $267,801.30 during April, a new all-time high for the state’s less than three-year-old industry.
Though the figure pales in comparison to New Jersey’s record of $17 million worth of online gambling win, which was also set in April, Delaware has seen month-over-month gains since December.
I-gaming win of $260,539 in March was the previous record.
April 2015 online casino revenue was $132,154.24.
Delaware’s market contracted in 2015, going from roughly $2 million in 2014 to around $1.8 million last year, but it should bounce back after the strong start to 2016.
Revenue from peer-to-peer poker play in April 2016 was $34,751.66, down from the $37,324 raked in March. It was also less than April 2015’s $48,552.24 in online poker revenue, which marks a year-over-year decrease of nearly 30 percent.
Delaware’s online gaming rebound has come thanks to the video lottery and online house-banked table games.
The state’s three I-gaming operators are Delaware Park, Dover Downs and Harrington Raceway. In an effort to boost revenues for operators, the state is considering allowing limited sports betting to happen online.
