The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) has reported the state's total casino and sports wagering revenue throughout September 2025, as the two gaming types combined to generate $148m for the period, but decreased 10.6%. While slot machines accounted for $67.6m of the total casino revenue reported for September 2025 and grew 7.5%, table games produced the remaining $28.1m and fell 3.7% from the prior year period.

Encore Boston Harbor, operated by Wynn Resorts, generated the highest revenue of any Massachusetts property throughout September 2025 after reporting $59.1m to the MGC, equating to an increase of 2.5%. MGM Springfield and Plainridge Park Casino, a Penn Entertainment-operated property, reported September 2025 revenues of nearly $22.3m and just over $14.3m, representing increases of 6.3% and 6.5%, respectively.

Both Encore Boston Harbor and MGM Springfield are taxed at a 25% rate by the MGC, while Plainridge Park Casino is currently taxed at 49%, leading to just over $37.8m in taxes collected by the regulator for September 2025. Despite reporting the highest table game revenue of any facility for September 2025 with $23.9m, Encore Boston Harbor still witnessed a decrease in revenue for the gaming type of 4.8%. The property's slot machine revenue for September 2025 was reported to be $35.2m, equating to an increase of 8.1% year-over-year.

MGM Springfield reported a September 2025 slot machine revenue of $18m, rising 7.3%, while table games generated nearly $4.3m for an increase of 2.5%. Plainridge Park Casino does not report table game revenue to the MGC, as the property's slot machines represent its total casino revenue generated throughout the period.

For sports wagering in Massachusetts, retail operations generated just $386,916 for September 2025, equating to a significant decrease of 70.4% from the prior year period. Land-based sports betting accounted for just $10.9m of the state's $800.3m handle throughout the month, which represents an increase of 17.9%, but a fall of just over $1m for retail betting handle. Online licensees reported $789.4m of handle for September 2025, rising 18.2%.

DraftKings was able to outpace FanDuel in online sports betting revenue generated in Massachusetts, having reported $26.1m for September 2025, but also witnessed a decrease in revenue of 32.8%. FanDuel produced just over $15.9m of online revenue across the monthly period, falling 27.7%, while the operators combined to account for over $600m of the state's total online sports wagering handle for September 2025.

BetMGM and Fanatics were able to generate September 2025 online betting revenues of $4.1m and $3.1m, respectively, representing a decrease of 24.6% for the MGM Resorts platform but a rise of 69.5% for Fanatics sportsbook. Caesars sportsbook and ESPN Bet were also able to surpass the $1m threshold for online sports wagering revenue reported for September 2025, as Caesars produced nearly $1.1m and ESPNBet managed an additional $1.4m.

On September 12, Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell filed a lawsuit against predictions markets platform KalshiEX in Suffolk Superior Court, accusing Kalshi of failing to follow state law which governs sports betting, such as licensure by the MGC, while offering "illegal and unsafe sports betting."

Campbell went on to accuse Kalshi of using an online exchange platform to offer sports wagering to consumers under the "guise of sports events contracts," allowing bettors to select a "yes" or "no" option depending on the likelihood of an event to occur.

The Attorney General's Office also stated Kalshi has "neither applied for nor received" a sports wagering license from the MGC, as required by state law.
