(AsiaGameHub) – The Louisiana Gaming Control Board has released a financial report detailing the industry’s results for April. The decision to permit casinos to relocate inland has proven successful, leading to a surge in casino earnings.
Riverboats and the Sole Land-Based Casino Performed Well
According to the Louisiana Gaming Control Board, statewide gaming revenue hit $223.9 million in April, an 11.3% rise compared to the previous year. This growth was fueled by increased casino activity following the state’s approval for riverboat casinos to move onshore.
Revenue from riverboat casinos totaled $168.7 million for the month, rising from $151.8 million in 2025. Leading the performance was L’Auberge Lake Charles, posting revenue of $29.2 million. Golden Nugget Lake Charles followed with $25.4 million in monthly revenue. Treasure Chest completed the top three with $15 million in revenue.
Other properties generating revenue above the $10 million mark were Margaritaville ($14.6 million), L’Auberge Baton Rouge ($13.9 million), Live! Casino ($12.1 million), and Horseshoe Bossier City ($10.7 million).
Caesars New Orleans, the state’s only land-based casino, reported April revenue of $27.5 million, up from $22.5 million in April 2025.
Sports Betting Revenues and Other Metrics Also Improved
For sports betting, data from the Louisiana Gaming Control Board indicates total revenue reached $48.6 million. The mobile sports betting segment recorded net proceeds of $42.8 million, while retail sportsbooks reported $2.7 million in net proceeds. These figures represent year-over-year gains of 14.8% and 134.6%, respectively.
The daily fantasy sports category, however, saw net revenue of $71,814, a 12.3% decrease from the prior-year period.
Further positive results included video gaming revenue, which grew 7.4% to $70.1 million, and slots revenue at racetracks, which increased 3.1% to $27.7 million.

One month earlier, Louisiana abandoned proposals to prohibit prop bets after legislators concluded such a ban could substantially damage the economy.
