The streak is still alive.

With $205.5 million in revenue in July, Mississippi casinos have three consecutive $200 million months. The three-peat is a welcomed salve after casino revenue plummeted more than $40 million from March to April…

According to Mississippi Gaming Commission 2024 data, revenue rose 1.7% monthly from $202.1 million recorded for Mississippi’s June 2024 gaming revenue to $205.5 million in July. This increase was solely due to casinos in the coastal region.

Properties in the state’s southernmost gaming zone enjoyed a $4.6 million revenue rise, whereas casinos in the Central and Northern regions combined for $1.2 million in losses. Thanks to the Coastal region, Mississippi casino revenue rose for the fifth time in the past seven months.
