Florida’s non-tribal venues collected close to $56.5 million in slot revenue in November, according to a new report from the Florida Gaming Control Commission, a 3.4 percent year-over-year increase, compared to $54.6 million in November 2023.

It also represents the highest monthly revenue total since May, when the casinos brought in $59.6 million.

Revenue was $53.4 million in October, with the latest total showing growth of 5.7 percent compared month-over-month. November’s revenue resulted in a $19.8 million payment to the state, based on Florida’s 35 percent tax rate applied to slot machine earnings.

Magic City Casino in Miami contributed the most revenue of the eight operators, collecting $10.9 million. Pompano Park followed with $10.1 million. Hialeah Park Casino, Calder Casino and Casino Miami drew revenues of $8.8 million, $7.6 million and $7.5 million respectively.

The remaining casinos authorized for slot machines each generated revenues below $5 million – the Casino at Dania Beach ($4.2 million), Gulfstream Park ($4.1 million) and The Big Easy Casino ($3.3 million)

State regulators continue to combat illegal gambling operators that take business away from FGCC-licensed venues. Recent investigations led to a number of arrests and the seizure of more than 500 unauthorized gaming machines.
