JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Gambling revenues tumbled in Mississippi’s river region in the first month after Harrah’s Tunica Hotel & Casino closed, but the overall downward trend didn’t worsen much. Meanwhile, Gulf Coast casinos posted their best June in years, winning enough that overall state casino revenues actually rose from June 2013, though by less than 1 percent.

Figures this week from the Mississippi Department of Revenue show casinos statewide won $174 million from gamblers in June. The 18 river casinos won $78.7 million, down 12 percent from a year earlier. That includes Harrah’s, which Caesars Entertainment Corp. closed on June 2, eliminating nearly 1,000 jobs.
