Indiana Casinos: Adapting to a Changing Landscape
In the table games category, the state’s 601 table games managed to generate $32.6 million in wins for June. This represents a slight dip from the $33.6 million reported in the same month the year prior. In addition, the state’s 14,688 electronic gaming devices and slots delivered a total of $162.9 million in slot wins, down from $166.1 million the previous year, further stressing the need for Indiana casinos to adapt to a changing market.
Taxable AGR for the month of June stood at $187.2 million, down from $190.4 million recorded last year.
