Commercial casinos in Louisiana saw a 6.9 percent drop in revenues last month, the Associated Press reports.
Louisiana has 13 riverboat casinos, one land-based casino in New Orleans and three racinos. The facilities took in $193.3 million last month, down from $207.7 million in October 2008.
Commercial casinos face competition from three Indian gaming facilities in the state. Tribal casinos in Oklahoma have been drawing more gamblers from Texas who might otherwise go to Louisiana.
