Slots games brought in $34.8 million, and table games generated $29.5 million. MGM Springfield came in next with $18.3 million in slot earnings and $4.6 million in table games. The total for the brand was just over $13.1 million. Plainridge Park only offers slot games, which came in at over $13 million. <\/p>\n<p>Encore Boston Harbor paid $16.1 million in taxes while MGM Springfield paid significantly less at $5.7 million. Both casinos are taxed at 25%. Plainridge Park paid $6.4 million as the brand is taxed much higher at 49%. <\/p>\n<p>Each casino is doing well for 2024, with a steady influx of visitors. <strong>More earnings would be possible if lawmakers allowed for iGaming<\/strong>, but legislative efforts have stalled. For now, players will have to settle for land-based casino gaming only. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sports-betting-details\">Sports Betting Details <\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>sports betting industry contributed just over $55 million<\/strong> to the $156 million total. The state offers retail and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casinousa.com\/games\/sports-betting\">online betting options<\/a>, so players can access bet options in person and online via apps and websites. <\/p>\n<p>Over $12.2 million in wagers were placed for retail betting in February. The hold was 6.17%, and taxable revenues came in at $723,224.79 after wins were paid. Retail providers paid over $108,000 in taxes. <\/p>\n<p>The online sector in Massachusetts is much larger, with over $530 million in bets placed. The revenue hold was just over 10%, with more than $52.5 million in total revenue earnings. The online sector paid just over $10.5 million in taxes. <\/p>\n<p>The retail section is taxed at 15%, while the online services are taxed a bit higher at 20%. Revenue levels are expected to remain higher over the next few months in the state, before the summer season begins.
