November was a stabilizing month<\/strong> for the New England casino industry. After three months, the region\u2019s existing casinos seem to be adjusting to the two new casino properties in Springfield, Massachusetts and Tiverton, Rhode Island.<\/p>\n

Year-over-year revenues<\/strong> at three of the four southern New England casinos fell for the third consecutive month<\/strong>, but the decline was far less precipitous than it had been in September and October.<\/p>\n

More importantly, the new casinos are significantly growing the overall market, adding some $20 million per month<\/strong> to the region\u2019s collective haul.<\/p>\n

Players benefit from New England casino competition<\/h2>\n

Another interesting development is a shift in slot hold percentages at multiple casinos<\/strong>. With Plainridge Park and the Connecticut casinos returning 92 percent to slot players<\/strong>, MGM\u2019s slot RTP has crept up from 90 to 92 percent since it opened its doors in late August.<\/p>\n

Even the extremely stingy Twin River is adjusting to the increased competition, as its slot RTP has risen from 85 percent to 86 percent.<\/p>\n
