Mississippi sees 6.2% decrease in quarter-two gaming revenue
SUMMARY: Mississippi saw a decline in gaming revenue in Q2, while the US as a whole experienced record-breaking numbers. The US gaming industry generated $16.07 billion in Q2, an 8.1% increase from the previous year and the 10th consecutive quarter of growth. However, Mississippi’s earnings of $617 million in Q2 were 6.2% lower than last year, the highest drop among all states. The slowdown in Mississippi is most noticeable in the northern region, with traditional gaming revenue down 13.3% in the first half of the year. Casinos in the Memphis area are losing business to Southland Casino across the Arkansas border, which saw a revenue surge of 19.3% in the first half of 2023. Mississippi’s central and coastal regions also faced slight declines in earnings.
