August gaming revenues at the Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kan., decreased compared to July, according to figures from the Kansas Lottery Commission.
Gaming revenues were $11.2 million in August and $12.6 million in July, lottery reports stated.
August 2016 revenues also declined when compared to August 2015, according to Keith Kocher, Kansas Lottery director of program assurance and integrity.
He pointed out there was an extra Saturday and Sunday in August last year, which made a difference in the figures being reported for the state’s three casinos.
The Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane, Kan., reported $13.9 million in revenues for August, as compared to $15.7 million in July, according to lottery figures.
Boot Hill Casino in Dodge City, Kan., reported $3.4 million in revenues for August, as compared to $3.5 million for July, according to lottery figures.
Kocher said the Kansas Crossing Casino in Pittsburg, Kan., in the southeast part of the state is under construction. All structural steel is in place for the new casino, he said. The new casino, which faced a challenge in court, may open in March, he said.
