Delaware Casinos Post Combined Revenue of 34.4 Million Dollars for Early September 2026
Delaware’s three licensed casinos generated a combined 34.4 million dollars in net casino revenue across the period from September 1 through September 28 in 2026, according to official monthly figures released by state regulators, and that total marked a 5.4 percent decline compared with the same stretch in 2025. The three properties involved are Delaware Park, Bally’s Dover, and Harrington Raceway & Casino, each operating under state licenses that authorize both video lottery terminals and table games. Data indicates the overall drop occurred across both major revenue categories, with video lottery net proceeds falling 4.7 percent to 30.81 million dollars while table-games win decreased 11.3 percent to 3.59 million dollars.
Those figures come directly from the state’s monthly reporting cycle, which tracks performance for each licensed operator and breaks results into video lottery and table-game segments. Observers note that the 28-day window captured activity during a period when many regional markets typically experience steady but not peak visitation, and the year-over-year comparison reflects changes in player spend on both slots-style machines and live dealer tables.
Breakdown of Revenue by Category
Video lottery terminals account for the largest share of the reported totals, and the 30.81 million dollars in net proceeds for September 2026 represented the bulk of the 34.4 million dollar overall figure. Table-game win, which includes blackjack, roulette, craps, and other live games, contributed the remaining 3.59 million dollars. The steeper percentage decline in table games compared with video lottery suggests differential movement between the two segments during the measured weeks.
State officials compile these numbers through a standardized collection process that requires each casino to submit daily and weekly data, after which regulators verify and publish the aggregates. The published totals represent net revenue after payouts to players but before operating expenses or taxes, giving a clear picture of gross win generated on the floor.
Performance Across the Three Properties
Delaware Park, Bally’s Dover, and Harrington Raceway & Casino together form the complete set of licensed casino operators in the state, and each contributes to the combined monthly totals. While individual property results are not broken out in the headline release, the aggregate movement shows consistent directional change across both revenue streams. Those who track state gaming data often review the full distribution reports to understand how each site performed relative to its own prior-year numbers.
The reporting period ended on September 28 rather than the final day of the month, which aligns with the state’s standard schedule for closing monthly books and preparing figures for public release in early October 2026. Analysts reviewing the data for October therefore have a complete early-September benchmark against which to measure subsequent weeks.
Year-over-Year Comparison and Category Details
Compared with September 2025, the 2026 video lottery net proceeds fell by 4.7 percent while table-game win dropped by 11.3 percent, producing the overall 5.4 percent decline in combined net casino revenue. The absolute numbers show video lottery proceeds at 30.81 million dollars and table-game win at 3.59 million dollars, both lower than the corresponding 2025 amounts. Those percentage changes are calculated directly from the state’s verified monthly reports and appear in the same official releases that list the three casinos’ aggregate performance.
Video lottery terminals operate under a central monitoring system managed by the Delaware Lottery, which records every play and calculates net proceeds after player winnings. Table games, by contrast, rely on live dealer activity and are subject to different hold percentages and player-volume patterns. The larger relative decline in table-game win may reflect shifts in table utilization or average bet size during the 28-day window, though the published data does not provide further segmentation by game type.
Readers can access the underlying monthly figures on video lottery net proceeds and table-games revenue distribution through the Delaware Lottery’s official site at https://www.delottery.com/, where separate pages detail Video Lottery Monthly Net Proceeds and Table Games Revenue Distribution for Financial Year 2027. Those reports supply the raw data points used to calculate the percentages cited in the September 2026 release.
Context Within State Gaming Operations
Delaware maintains a tightly regulated gaming market in which only the three named casinos may offer video lottery and table games. The state’s reporting cadence produces consistent monthly snapshots that allow direct comparison across years, and the September 2026 numbers fit into that ongoing series. Because the reporting window closed on the 28th, the October 2026 figures will provide the next full-month view once they become available later in the fall.
State law requires public disclosure of these aggregates, which supports transparency for operators, regulators, and the public. The published totals therefore serve as the authoritative record for any analysis of revenue trends during the measured period.
Conclusion
The September 1–28 2026 data show Delaware’s three licensed casinos produced 34.4 million dollars in combined net revenue, with video lottery net proceeds at 30.81 million dollars and table-game win at 3.59 million dollars, each lower than the prior-year totals by 4.7 percent and 11.3 percent respectively. These figures, drawn from official state monthly reports, constitute the complete factual record for the specified period and offer the baseline against which later 2026 results can be measured once released.
