After a high note in March, Mississippi casino revenue swung into a minor chord in April.

The state’s 25 casinos posted $192 million in revenue this past month, down more than $40 million compared to March and around $27 million compared to April 2023, according to the latest data from the Mississippi Gaming Commission (MGC).

The MGC’s data only includes action at brick-and-mortar casinos. Online casinos are not legal in Mississippi yet.

Key takeaways:

  • Casino revenue took a considerable dive month-on-month and year-on-year.
  • Online casinos are likely a long way off in Mississippi.
  • April’s 18.3% revenue dip was the biggest in the past 12 months.
