With fewer COVID-19 restrictions and the Super Bowl-infused popularity of sports betting, Baton Rouge’s three riverboat casinos saw revenues increase by more than $5 million, or more than 33%, in February, compared to a year ago.
The three casinos, L’Auberge Baton Rouge, Hollywood Casino and the Belle of Baton Rouge, brought in $23 million in February, according to the latest report from the Louisiana Gaming Control Board. That number is up 4.4% from January, when the three brought in around $22 million.
L’Auberge brought in the highest revenue, $17 million, this past February, a 43.8% increase from February 2021.
Hollywood Casino, currently pursuing renovations, brought in $4.4 million, a 10% increase from last year, and the Belle of Baton Rouge saw revenues of about $1.3 million, a 13.9% increase.
