March revenue dips year-over-year

Despite that gain, the overall result stands out as the weakest March performance in five years, a notable dip for a month that typically produces stronger returns. For context, the industry’s best March came in 2024, producing $123.9 million in aggregate revenue.
Through the first quarter of 2026, table games and slots revenue is down 0.8% year-over-year.
