Kansas’ four commercial casinos combined for $32.3 million in revenue in September, down 2.5 percent decrease from the same month last year when revenue reached $33.1 million, according to a Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission report.

Electronic gaming machines accounted for the most of the revenue, around $28.2 million. Meanwhile, table games like blackjack, roulette and baccarat generated $4.1 million.

The four casinos ranked in the same order as last September. Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway led with $12,594,645 million in revenue, followed by Mulvane’s Kansas Star Casino, collecting $12,593,560. Boot Hill Casino in Dodge City generated $3,879,609, while Kansas Crossing Casino in Pittsburg contributed the remaining $3,191,554.

Revenue also declined 10.3 percent compared to the prior month. In August, the four casinos combined for $35.9 million in revenue, again ranking in the same order. All four casinos saw their revenues fall month-on-month.

Kansas’ commercial casinos are subject to a 27 percent tax on their revenue, including 22 percent for the state, 3 percent for local communities and 2 percent to support problem gambling. In September, state contributions totaled $8.7 million.
