The figure is, however, down almost nine million dollars from October, and the yearly figure was also down. In 2009, casino revenue in Mississippi was $2.46 billion, compared to $2.72 billion in 2008. It was late 2008 when the economic crisis in the US started to really affect casino revenue in the country.
Casinos that are located along the Mississippi River fared better than those along the Gulf Coast. The Mississippi River casinos had an increase of revenue, up from $98.2 million in November, to $101.4 million in December.
The Gulf Coast casinos had a decrease in revenue of almost four million dollars. The November revenue was $87.2 million at the Gulf Coast casinos, while December revenue slipped to $83.5 million.
