Although the crowds have been steady since the opening, the General Manager at the new Rocky Gap Casino and Resort reports that the revenue numbers haven’t been quite as strong as anticipated. The casino did rake in $700,000 in its first ten days in May- and a total of $2.5 million through the end of June, but GM Scott Just said they actually had projected slightly better numbers. He described the initial revenues generated as “down”. He said the bureaucracy involved in finally securing a license and getting state approval to open led a a later than expected opening- which is partly responsible for the slow start.

No kidding. There’s no money around here and a glut of casinos in Maryland and elsewhere.
