(Louisiana).- Baton Rouge’s three riverboat casinos collectively posted a 4.6% increase in winnings in September when compared to the year before, the best performance of any of the state’s gambling markets during a month that was heavily impacted by hurricanes.
The state’s 14 riverboat casinos, Harrah’s land-based casino and four racinos brought in just over $126 million during September, according to figures released Monday by the Louisiana Gaming Control Board. That’s down 31.3% from the $183.4 million that 15 riverboats, Harrah’s and the four racinos generated in September 2019.
Part of the reason for the big year-to-year drop was the damage done by Hurricane Laura to the lucrative Lake Charles market.

Part of the reason for the big year-to-year drop was the damage done by Hurricane Laura to the lucrative Lake Charles market. Revenue in Lake Charles was off by 64.9% from nearly $62.2 million to $21.8 million.
The Golden Nugget and L’Auberge Lake Charles reopened on September 11 after being damaged by the powerful late August storm. The slot machines at Delta Downs reopened on September 16. The Isle of Capri, which had its gambling barge break loose and its land-based casino under construction get damaged in the storm, was closed for the entire month and isn’t expected to host gamblers until the beginning of 2021.
