In a place known as the “Show-Me” state, there wasn’t much to show for Missouri casinos in April.

Casino customer and revenue counts were down 6% and 7% year-on-year, respectively, and only one casino saw its win grow compared to April 2023. Month-on-month, revenue dropped from $175.4 million in March to $156 million this past month, according to the latest data from the Missouri Gaming Commission.

The state’s casino struggles come amid a frustrating battle in the state legislature to pass any online casino or sports betting law that could bring a considerable influx of revenue for casinos.
