Mississippi Casino Revenues Drop

According to Forbes Mississippi Casino Revenus dropped as a result of Hurricane Gustav.

Seeing the Labor Day weekend clipped by Hurricane Gustav, Mississippi’s state-licensed casinos won $232.7 million from gamblers in August, down a bit from a year ago, the Mississippi State Tax Commission reported Wednesday.

Still, the Gulf Coast casinos posted bigger winnings last month than in August 2007, taking in $120.6 million, compared with $108.6 million a year ago.
