SUMMARY: Mississippi casinos experienced a revenue decline in the third quarter of 2024, contrasting with the overall growth of the U.S. gaming industry, which reported an 8.1% increase. Mississippi’s gaming revenue fell by 3.5% to $605.8 million, following a 2.3% decrease in the second quarter. This marks two consecutive quarters of downturns after a strong start to the year.
