Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge posted a 1.6% drop in third-quarter net revenues, dipping to nearly $29.5 million. That compares with the nearly $29.6 million the downtown casino brought in during the third quarter of 2008. Through the first nine months of the year, the casino has posted net revenues of $95.9 million, 1.6% lower than the $97.5 million it brought in through September 2008. Penn National Gaming, the parent company of Hollywood, says its third-quarter profit slid 86% from a year ago, when results benefited from a termination fee after its proposed acquisition was called off. The casino operator reported net income of $21.4 million, or 20 cents per share, for the period ended Sept. 30. That’s down from $147.5 million, or $1.69 per share, a year earlier.
