Delaware Casino Revenues Show Decline During September 2026 Reporting Window
Delaware’s three casinos reported a combined $34.4 million in net casino revenue for the period covering September 1 through 28 of 2026, which marked a 5.4 percent drop compared with the same stretch in 2025, and observers note the figures reflect changes across both video lottery terminals and table games while the state continues its established regulatory oversight of gaming operations.
Overall Revenue Picture
Data shows the total figure came in lower than the prior year even though Delaware Park managed to stay nearly even, whereas Bally’s Dover and Harrington Raceway & Casino posted clearer reductions, and the pattern aligns with monthly accounting cycles that state officials track through standard channels to monitor industry performance.
Video lottery terminal revenue reached $30.81 million after falling 4.7 percent year over year, while table games revenue totaled $3.59 million following an 11.3 percent decrease, and these two categories together accounted for the full reported amount during the 28-day window.
Breakdown by Revenue Category
Video lottery terminals continued to generate the larger share of the overall total, yet the category still experienced the moderate contraction that pulled the statewide number downward, and table games revenue contracted at a steeper rate that further contributed to the net decline across all three properties.
Those who follow state gaming reports point out that the combined result represents the complete net revenue captured during the specified dates, with no additional categories included in the $34.4 million aggregate that state channels publish for public reference.
Performance at Each Property
Delaware Park recorded $15.2 million, an amount that remained roughly flat relative to the same period in 2025, and this outcome positioned the property as the sole operator among the three to avoid a noticeable drop while the other two locations registered steeper reductions that widened the overall statewide gap.
Bally’s Dover and Harrington Raceway & Casino each posted declines that exceeded the statewide average, although exact individual figures for those sites appear in the same state compilation that lists the aggregate total, and the contrast with Delaware Park highlights how results can differ even among properties operating under identical regulatory frameworks.
Reporting Context for September 2026
State channels release these monthly figures on a consistent schedule, and the September 1–28 accounting period follows the standard format used throughout 2026, allowing direct comparisons with earlier months and prior years without adjustments for differing lengths of reporting windows.
Observers note the data arrives through official publications that reference the same measurement standards applied to video lottery terminals and table games alike, which ensures the 5.4 percent overall decline can be tracked against historical patterns without changes in methodology.
Conclusion
The September 2026 figures for Delaware’s three casinos stand as a single-period snapshot that shows a modest contraction driven by reductions in both major revenue streams, with Delaware Park maintaining stability while the remaining properties experienced larger drops that shaped the final statewide total.
