BALTIMORE, Md. — During the 2026 fiscal year, the state brought in a combined $1.637 billion between the Maryland Lottery, the state's casinos, and sports betting operators.
That's about $48 million more than the previous fiscal year.
The majority of the money came from the casinos, followed by lottery profits, and then sports betting.
Nearly $700 million of those proceeds went to education programs.
"We're proud to operate and oversee gaming that raises critically needed state revenue," said Maryland Lottery and Gaming Director John Martin. "We take a moment each summer after the fiscal year ends to look at the numbers, but we've also quickly turned our attention to the future as we aim for a strong FY2027 and beyond."
About $5.4 million went to the State's Problem Gambling Fund in FY2026, which helps support no-cost counseling services for Maryland residents.
