The natural progression for human locomotion proceeds from simply rolling over to running wild. As another fiscal year approaches its end for Kansas’ commercial casinos, what started out as running toward recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic seems to have slowed to a crawl.
The four casinos in the state posted their strongest revenue in the fiscal year prior to the pandemic. While each year has represented a move back toward that height, the fiscal year that will end with June 2023 will likely represent the smallest such move yet.
According to the Kansas Lottery, the four casinos it leases to operational partners posted $32.5 million in gaming revenue for May. That’s down about 8.5% from Kansas April casino revenue and 2.8% from the same month in 2022.
