Maryland's three casinos pulled in $58 million in March.

The Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency announced Friday that Maryland Live Casino in Anne Arundel County accounted for $44.6 million of the revenues. The Hollywood Casino Perryville, which debuted its table games in March, generated $9.5 million. And the Casino at Ocean Downs generated $3.9 million.

Compared to March 2012, both the Hollywood Casino Perryville and the Casino at Ocean Downs pulled in less money. The Hollywood Casino Perryville's revenue was down more than $4 million from March 2012 and the Casino at Ocean Downs' revenue decreased by approximately $130,000.

Maryland Live opened in June 2012.
