SPRINGFIELD — MGM Springfield reported $21.1 million in slot machine, table game and poker revenue for the month of June, according to figures released Friday by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission.
That figure was a few thousand dollars off from May numbers and higher than the taken last year in June 2021 which was $20 million and the $19.9 million recorded in June 2019 pre-pandemic. The casino was closed in June 2020 as a COVID precaution.
The gaming revenue was $22.5 million in April 2022 and $24.2 million in March 2022.
Month-to-month comparisons can be tricky because the casino business is seasonal.
