Overall I-gaming revenue in the state of Delaware was $156,125.74 during September, of which just $24,523.26 came from peer-to-peer poker play, the lowest figure for the card game since the state launched online gaming in November 2013.
Revenue from the video lottery was $93,737.22, the most ever for that game.
The online casinos won the $156,000 on $3,603,469.78 in wagers during the month. Three hundred and thirty people registered for new online gaming accounts during the month.
The state’s three I-gaming operators are Delaware Park, Dover Downs and Harrington Raceway. 888 Holdings is a technology providef for the three brick-and-mortars.
In September, New Jersey gaming regulators approved a plan for Scientific Games, which runs its online gaming business from servers located in Caesars’ data center in Atlantic City, to offer its content across state lines to the Delaware Lottery’s online gaming platform. Nevada and Delaware currently share liquidity for online poker, as Nevada hasn’t yet allowed the other I-casino games.
Under that deal, both states keep revenue generated by players within their respective borders. Nevada’s population is around 2.7 million; Delaware has about 920,000.
According to PokerScout, the WSOP Nevada/Delaware Lottery online poker network has remained unchanged over the past six months in terms of the average of real-money ring game players, with the exception of the summer months when traffic spiked temporarily. The liquidity sharing began in late March. New Jersey doesn’t yet share its players.
