Mississippi coast casinos post new April revenue record

Mississippi’s Gulf Coast casinos posted new revenue records in April, that the gross casino earnings at the 12 Gulf Coast gambling centres hit an all-time record of $108.6 million in April – which is $1.4 million more than the previous high set in April 2007. It happened when volunteers and contractors were flooding the coast following Hurricane Katrina.

The numbers put coastal casinos up to $407 million for the year compared to $404 million during the same period last year. But the state’s river casinos saw revenue decline in April by nearly 1 percent to about $75 million.

The numbers were released by the Mississippi Department of Revenue.
