Indiana’s casinos stopped a three-month revenue slide by posting nearly $214.5 million in proceeds for October, according to the state’s Gaming Commission.

Casino revenue reached a high-water mark of $230.9 million in July, but had since tumbled to $206.6 million in September. October’s figure represented a 3.8% increase month over month and lifted operator revenue over the $2 billion mark for the calendar year.

The taxable revenue totaled more than $196.3 million, a 3.7% increase from September. Venues deducted a combined $12.8 million in free play in October, with Horseshoe Hammond’s $2 million the highest amount from any single location. As a new venue, Hard Rock Northern Indiana will pay separate supplemental and wagering taxes through June 2025.
