Florida non-tribal casinos reported statewide revenues of $58.1 million, a 0.2 percent decrease compared to December 2023, when casinos generated $58.2 million.
The Florida Gaming Control Commission revealed its December slot revenue figures for the eight non-tribal commercial casinos in the Sunshine State. Magic City Casino contributed the highest in slot revenue, generating just more than $11.1 million in December. Pompano Park closely followed with $11 million in slot revenue, and Hialeah Casino, which produced $8 million in slot revenue.
The remaining five casinos all produced slot revenue of less than $8 million, Calder Race Course at $7.7 million, Miami Casino at $7.3 million, Gulfstream Park Racing & Casino at $4.9 million, Dania Jai Alai at $4.2 million and Big Easy Casino at $3.6 million.
Slot revenue rose roughly 3 percent month-over-month compared to the November figures reported by the Florida Gaming Control Board. Slot revenue at six commercial casinos also had a month-over-month increase, with the most significant gain at Magic City Casino, which saw slot revenue increase by nearly $1 million from November.
The Florida gaming landscape looked like it could change when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called a special session at the start of the week to discuss new proposals regarding the legalization of commercial sportsbooks and casinos. However, the session ended before lawmakers could address the bills.
