Miss Jackson presented the Louisiana Gaming Control Board with September 2025 revenue figures showing mixed month‑to‑month results and several year‑to‑date increases.
Miss Jackson said total riverboat revenues fell compared with August — a $29 million drop, or about 18% — noting September had four weekends compared with five in August. She reported the state had collected roughly $95.4 million in fees for fiscal year 2025–26 as of Sept. 30, 2025, and stated a reported aggregate of $443,600,000 was either a $28,600,000 increase or 7% above fiscal year 2024–25 (the presenter gave both the dollar and percentage comparisons). Page 2 of the board packet showed riverboat revenue by regional market.
On Caesars New Orleans, Miss Jackson reported gross gaming revenue of $19,483,745 for September 2025 — a month‑over‑month decline of about $6.3 million (24.5%) but an increase of roughly $3.4 million (21%) compared with September of the prior year. The state received $5,342,466 in minimum daily payments from Caesars during the month.
For slots at racetracks, adjusted gross receipts for the four racetrack facilities combined were reported at 23,633,331 for September, a decrease of about $4.5 million (16%) from the previous month and a decrease of $508,000 (2%) from the same month last year. Fiscal‑year‑to‑date adjusted gross receipts for the racetracks were reported at $66.6 million, an increase of $13.9 million (26%) over fiscal year 2024–25; state fees collected for that category were reported at about $3.6 million for September and $16.4 million fiscal year to date.
Miss Jackson presented video‑gaming metrics: 12,438 devices were active at 1,378 locations. Net device revenue for September was $60,577,697, down $4.8 million (7.3%) from August but up $3.7 million (6.5%) year‑over‑year. Fiscal‑year‑to‑date net device revenue was $190.4 million, a $11 million (6%) increase from the prior fiscal year; franchise fees for September totaled $18.2 million and $57.4 million had been collected fiscal year to date.
On sports wagering, retail sportsbooks accepted about $33.8 million in wagers in September, producing nearly $3 million in net proceeds and $297,000 in state taxes. Mobile sportsbooks accepted roughly $367.7 million in wagers, yielding $44.2 million in net proceeds and $9.5 million in state taxes. Miss Jackson said daily fantasy sports gross revenues for September were about $1.7 million, net revenue $321,000, and taxes $25,700.
