Handle for the month stood at $12.5m, which was 27.3% lower than $17.2m in May 2022 and also 17.2% down from $14.5m in April this year.
However, gross gaming revenue in May amounted to $2.0m, level with the same month last year and double the $1.0m generated in April.
Caesars Entertainment claimed top spot in revenue terms after collecting $818,817 from a $4.6m handle.
