The Massachusetts Gaming Commission reported today that the month of October 2020 at Plainridge Park Casino (PPC), MGM Springfield and Encore Boston Harbor generated approximately $69 million in Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR).

 

The results reported today reflect the second full month of GGR collected after casinos were permitted to reopen in Phase 3 of the Commonwealth’s phased reopening.

 

The three licensees collected approximately 88% of gross gaming revenue on approximately 50 percent of the gaming positions available, as compared to October 2019.

 

PPC, a category 2 slots facility, is taxed on 49% of GGR. Of that total taxed amount, 82% is paid to Local Aid and 18% is allotted to the Race Horse Development Fund. MGM Springfield and Encore Boston Harbor, category 1 resort-casinos, are taxed on 25% of GGR; those monies are allocated to several specific state funds as determined by the gaming statute. 

 

To date, the Commonwealth has collected approximately $655 million in total taxes and assessments from PPC, MGM and Encore since the respective openings of each gaming facility.
