Net revenues fell to $142,083 compared with the $172,496 recorded in July 2014, but were up more than 30% sequentially driven by a boost in lottery ticket sales.
Table game revenues fell a massive 60% YoY to $38,605 while poker dipped 10% to $28,158 despite the state now sharing player pools with Nevada.
The only upside in July was a 70% YoY increase in online lottery ticket sales to $75,319, representing a 67% increase compared with the previous month.
The boost in lotto sales saw all three of the stateâs racinos post sequential growth, with Dover Downs reporting a substantial 80% rise in total revenues to $48,352.
But Delaware Park continued to lead the charge during the month despite total revenues remaining relatively flat at $68,322.
Harington Raceway again trailed in last but saw revenues increase 68% sequentially to $25,401 driven by a 650% uptick in lottery ticket sales to $16,951.
