After what started as a declining fiscal year, Missouri casinos earned a reprieve in September. Not only did the 13 licensees halt a two-month annual downturn, but they also barely squeaked out a new revenue record for the month.
Fueling that improvement most was the expansion of one property in the state. While the newness of that expansion could wane, its presence in one of the state’s two largest markets suggests it could have some staying power, too.
The 13 brick-and-mortar commercial casinos in Missouri barely improved upon their September 2022 revenue total this year, but they did so nonetheless. September 2023’s sum of $158.5 million beat out the same month in 2022’s revenue total by about $700,000.
