The Illinois Gaming Board reported $114 million in casino gaming revenue in November, as a dip in electronic gaming device (EGD) and slots revenue offset a year-best total from table games.
The total was 1.7% lower than the $116 million generated in October as admissions to the state’s 11 gaming venues dipped 4.3% to 770,693. That was the lowest admissions figure since June, when 745,546 admissions were counted, and the first time since August the number dropped below 800,000.
While there was that notable decline in admissions, the $147.91 in revenue per admission was 2.7% higher versus the previous month, representing an increase of nearly $4 per admission. The average for the calendar year is $148.17 from more than 8.3 million admissions.
