Bally’s has released its Q2 financial report for 2023, showing a growth in revenue of 10% year-on-year, up to $606.2m from last year's $551.5m.
Total non-gaming revenue for Q2 2023 stands at $112.9m, reflecting a 16% increase year-on-year, up from $97.4m.
Meanwhile, total gaming revenue was $493.3m, up slightly with an increase of 8% from $455.1m.
Bally’s casinos and resorts revenue hit a record, making $333.2m, up 11% year-on-year from $299.9m.
Net income switched to a loss year-on-year from $59.5m to minus $25.7m - a drop of 143% - however, a factor of this could be to do with the deal with the Oakland A’s of MLB to construct a new stadium onto a portion of its Tropicana Las Vegas site. Another potential contributing factor for the loss could be costs related to the launch of Bally's interactive business in new jurisdictions.
Adjusted EBITDAR was reported as $161.4m up from $148.5m, representing a percentage increase of 9%.
