November Winnings Up Slightly For La. Casinos

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana's state-licensed casinos pushed their winnings from gamblers last month a bit higher than in November 2009.

State police reported the 13 riverboat casinos, Harrah's downtown casino in New Orleans and the four race track casinos won $180.6 million in November, up slightly from the $179 million collected in the same month a year earlier.

The riverboats won $124.3 million, Harrah's won $27.8 million and the track casinos collected $28.5 million.

In October 2010, the take totaled $196.7 million.
