(US).- Casinos in Mississippi statewide won USD 2.07 billion from gamblers in 2014, down about USD 70 million (3.2 percent) from 2013, according to figures released by state gaming regulators.
That’s down from 2007’s record of USD 2.89 billion. Lower gaming revenue might set the stage for online poker legalization in Mississippi, if lawmakers look to web casino games to bolster the brick-and-mortar industry, like officials in Nevada, Delaware and New Jersey have done.
The state’s 17 casinos along the Mississippi River won less than USD 1 billion for gamblers last year for the first time since 1994, the AP report added.
What's more, Harrah’s Tunica Hotel & Casino, as well as Biloxi’s Margaritaville Casino & Restaurant, closed last year. The state still has more than two dozen casinos.
