Arizona tribes see another dip in casino revenues

Friday, October 23, 2009  

Revenue at tribal casinos fell 9.9 percent in fiscal year that ended June 30, the Arizona Department of Gaming reported.

Tribes shared $86.5 million with the state in fiscal year 2009. That's lower than the $96 million they shared in fiscal year 2008 and lower than the $92 million the shared in fiscal year 2007.

The department attributed the decline to the national recession. Revenues fell consistently over the last few quarters.
