What Shreveport-Bossier Casino Leads the Pack
Margaritaville was the top producing casino in the local market, bringing in $12.11 million in August. But that number is down from July when the casino brought in $12.89 million. This is a dip of about 6%. Revenues for August of last year at Margaritaville are down by about 3.7% with revenues last year at $12.58 million.
Live Casino is the second best performer in the market, bringing in $10.54 million in August. But that number is also down about 3.6% from July's $10.93 million. Year-over-year numbers for Live Casino are down just over 1% with revenues at $10.66 million last August.
This latest report does not show good news for the local casinos. Every one of them saw numbers drop off from July to August. But that is pretty typical as we get to the back to school spending and folks have fewer dollars to dedicate to gambling.
