State Revenue Department figures show gamblers statewide lost USD 166M in January, compared to USD 178M in the same month in 2016.
The 12 coastal casinos posted revenue of $99 million, down from $101 million in January 2016. Revenue on the Gulf Coast has been generally rising since mid-2014.
Receipts tumbled more than 13 percent at the 16 Mississippi River casinos, to $67 million in January compared to $77 million a year ago. That's a bad result in a region where business decreases had shown signs of bottoming out in 2016 after years of declines.
Numbers exclude Choctaw Indian casinos, which don't report winnings to the state.
