Missouri Casino Does Very Well

The Missouri Gaming Commission released their latest figures this week and it looks like the Mark Twain Casino is producing more income than anyone expected. The LaGrange casino has brought in more money than ever in March, and officials hope that this is just the beginning of a really long trend.

The casino brought in $3,032,037 in total revenue for March. This is the most money the casino has brought in since they opened in July of 2001. They did, however, hit the $3 million mark once before, but that was a while ago. Slot machines are responsible for the majority of that money, but any casino worth their salt will tell you that is the way it goes.

Slot machines usually make up the majority of a casino’s revenue, whether they have table games or not. The amount of money that Mark Twain’s Casino’s slot machines brought in was $32.68 million – that is the “handle” or the amount of money that customers put into the casino, and does not include payouts.

Back in August of 2001, the slot machines brought in $31.72 million, which has been its record ever since – but the casino was only open a month at that point. Just from slot machines, the casino brought in $2,794,394. Their hold was 8.5%, and their hold ranks sixth among all of Missouri’s casinos.

Funny enough, for a record month, the casino’s table games actually went down 2% in their revenue, compared to the year before. All told, Missouri’s casinos brought in $148.6 million in revenue for March 2007.
