BALTIMORE (AP) -- Four of Maryland's five casinos posted revenue gains of at least 5 percent in September.

The state's newest casino, Horseshoe, was Maryland's only casino not to record increases. It took in $22.1 million in September, a decrease of over 1 percent. Horseshoe opened in late August last year.

Hollywood Casino Perryville posted revenue increases of 5 percent, Casino at Ocean Downs grew by 15 percent and Rocky Gap Casino Resort's revenue increased by over 6 percent.
