Statewide, total riverboat casino revenues were even with a year ago at US$ 142.4 million. Revenues fell over the year in every market except Lake Charles, where US$ 32.5 million won at L'Auberge Lake Charles marked a 21.3 percent increase. That counterbalanced much smaller drops at the Delta Downs track slots casino and the Isle of Capri riverboat.
The New Orleans land casino won US$ 29.9 million, up 10.3 percent from a year earlier.
