According to the latest reports by the Mississippi Department of Revenue, gross casino revenue at the 12 Mississippi's Gulf Coast gambling centers hit an all-time high of $108.6 million in April, which is $1.4 million more than the previous high set in April 2007, when volunteers and contractors were flooded following Hurricane Katrina.
