Caesars New Orleans Continues to Outperform Louisiana Rivals
Louisiana’s commercial casino market reported modest growth in November, with total gaming revenue reaching $183.8 million, a 2.9% year-over-year increase, according to figures released by the Louisiana State Police.
Caesars New Orleans continued to outperform the market, generating $31.1 million during the month, the highest total among the state’s 16 casinos. The result represented a 16.3% increase from November 2024, underscoring the property’s continued momentum following its rebranding and investment program.
L’Auberge Lake Charles ranked second statewide, posting $27.1 million in revenue, up 5% year-over-year. Other properties reporting gains included The Queen Baton Rouge (up 9.9%), Horseshoe Lake Charles (7.5%), Amelia Belle (5.4%), Treasure Chest (5.1%) and Horseshoe Bossier City (4%).
Live! Casino Louisiana, which opened in February, reported $10.7 million in November revenue, continuing its early contribution to the state’s gaming landscape.
Challenging Month for Some Louisiana Casinos
However, results were mixed across the market, with several properties experiencing double-digit declines. Belle of Baton Rouge posted the steepest drop, falling 48.6% year-over-year to $295,629. The decline reflected Bally’s closure of the property’s temporary gaming facility on November 14, ahead of the opening of its permanent, rebranded location on December 6.
Other notable decreases included Margaritaville Bossier City, down 27.2% to $12.7 million; Bally’s Shreveport, down 26.6% to $7.1 million; Boomtown Bossier City, down 19.4% to $2.9 million; and Boomtown New Orleans, which fell 16% to $8.7 million. Sam’s Town Shreveport declined 13.7% to $2.7 million, while Golden Nugget Lake Charles slipped 10.1% to $25.4 million.
L’Auberge Baton Rouge also reported a slight contraction, with revenue down 1.8% to $14.1 million.
