BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Gamblers lost $3.28 billion playing state-licensed casino games during Louisiana’s just-completed fiscal year.
According to state police figures released Tuesday, the games
took in slightly more than during the 2006-07 state fiscal year
when gambling establishments won $3.23 billion.
During the 2007-08 fiscal year that ended June 30, riverboat
casinos won $1.8 billion, Harrah’s downtown land casino in New
Orleans won $419.1 million and casinos at race tracks won another
$384.4 million.
Gamblers lost another $674.1 million in video poker machines at
off-track betting parlors, truck stops and bars.
The figures don’t include the three Indian reservation casinos
in Louisiana. Those casinos don’t have to report their winnings to
the public.
