Upstate commercial casinos in New York will need a strong finish to 2023 if the industry intends to set a single-year revenue record.
Even if they don’t set the record, and despite month-to-month and year-over-year decreases, NY casinos have had an incredible 2023.
According to data from the New York State Gaming Commission, commercial casinos in New York reported $55.9 million in total gross gaming revenue in October. While it reflects a 7.4% year-over-year downturn, October’s numbers push 2023 totals to $570.5 million, a mere 0.007% off the pace set in 2022.
When looking at month-over-month numbers, there wasn’t much to celebrate for the four upstate casinos in New York.
But that’s what happens when, in September, you put together the highest month in 2023.
