After more than two years of posting year-over-year losses, Baton Rouge’s riverboat casinos have collectively broken their losing streak.
Collectively, L’Auberge Baton Rouge, Hollywood Casino and the Belle of Baton Rouge brought in roughly $18.8 million in November—0.7%, or $138,850, more than the previous November, according to the latest figures from the Louisiana Gaming Control Board. The casinos also brought in 2.5% more than in October.
Again, Belle of Baton Rouge led the market and state with the highest losses, collecting only $2 million last month—a 2% drop from October of this year and a 25% drop from the previous November. Hollywood Casino collected $4.3 million, posting a 3.3% increase year-over-year, while L’Auberge collected $12.4 million, a 5.7% increase from the same month last year.
Statewide, riverboat casinos collected just shy of $150 million last month—a nearly 10% gain from October, although a 0.9% decrease from last year.
Of the state’s 15 riverboat casinos, nine posted year-over-year revenue losses for November.
