Maryland's four casinos brought in $75.9 million in July, a jump of nearly 10 percent from the same month a year earlier, with the bulk of the increase coming from the state's largest casino, Maryland Live, the state lottery agency reported Tuesday.

The total for slot machines and table game revenues was up 9.7 percent, or $6.7 million, from July 2013.
