MGM Springfield’s gross gambling revenue for May reached $25.4 million, according to figures submitted to state regulators, showing a steady month-over-month and year-over-year increase.
This total represents a notable rise from the $23.5 million the casino brought in during April 2025 and is also an improvement over the $22.4 million reported in May of the previous year. The figures, released by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, highlight continued momentum for the casino as part of broader gains seen across the state’s regulated gaming sector.
Statewide Casino and Sports Betting Revenue Surges
Across Massachusetts, the state’s three licensed casinos — Plainridge Park Casino, MGM Springfield, and Encore Boston Harbor — collectively generated approximately $105.36 million in gross gaming revenue for the month of May.
In addition to traditional casino operations, the state’s expanding sports wagering sector also posted significant figures. Massachusetts’ seven licensed mobile sports betting operators, along with three physical sportsbooks, reported around $80.73 million in taxable sports betting revenue for the month.
Mixed Results for In-Person Sports Wagering at MGM Springfield
While MGM Springfield’s main casino operations showed improvement, its in-person sportsbook experienced a slight dip in betting activity. The sportsbook reported a handle — or total amount wagered — of $1.4 million in May, down from $1.6 million in April. However, this figure still marked an increase from the $1.1 million handle recorded in May 2024, indicating longer-term growth despite short-term fluctuations.
This mixed performance reflects ongoing shifts in consumer behavior as mobile sports betting continues to dominate the landscape, while retail sportsbooks maintain a consistent — albeit smaller — portion of the overall wagering market.
Consistent Growth Signals Strong Market Health
MGM Springfield’s continued growth trajectory, coupled with the broader strength of the Massachusetts gambling market, points to a healthy and maturing industry. While mobile platforms increasingly lead the charge in sports wagering revenue, traditional casinos like MGM Springfield continue to play a vital role in the state’s gaming ecosystem.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission’s latest report reaffirms this trend, showcasing stable year-over-year gains and signaling potential for sustained performance as the market evolves. With both digital and in-person betting contributing to the revenue mix, operators and regulators alike appear well-positioned to support continued industry expansion.
