The New England casino<\/strong> market got a little bit bigger in August. And even though MGM Springfield<\/strong> was only open for business for nine days<\/strong> it generated nearly $10 million<\/strong> in gross gaming revenue.<\/p>\n

That sent total slot revenue<\/strong> at the region\u2019s eight casinos over the $170 million mark<\/strong> for the month. And next month promises to be even better.<\/p>\n

Not only will MGM have a full month of revenue to report, but the new Twin River casino in Tiverton<\/strong> officially opened its doors on September 1<\/strong>. The new Tiverton casino is expected to outperform the property it\u2019s replacing, the dated Newport Grand.<\/p>\n

MGM posted solid, but somewhat unremarkable revenue numbers<\/strong> during its first week.<\/p>\n

Instead of becoming one of the top casinos in the region (as many expected), MGM Springfield is looking more like a second-tier property, with revenues well below Mohegan Sun, Foxwoods and Twin River.<\/p>\n
