DELAWARE IN FACT: Table games numbers

The numbers are in, and DFM News has a breakdown of exactly how much money was bet, won, lost, and kept by the state for the month of July, the first month all three of Delaware’s racinos had table games operating for a full month. Table games are drawing crowds and making money, just not as much as legislators and casino officials were banking on.

The graph below shows how much money was bet on table games at Delaware Park, Dover Downs, and Harrington Raceway and Casino. (Note: June numbers for Delaware Park and Dover Downs are partial month numbers.  Delaware Park launched tables games June 18th and Dover Downs launched June 25th)

Of the money wagered, the graph below shows the "hold" or  how much money the casino won from the bets.

The last graph shows how much money the state earned from the casino winnings. Currently, the state's share of table games revenue is 29.4%.
