March was the Mississippi casino industry’s one shining moment.
25 casinos in Mississippi generated their highest adjusted gross revenue total in state history, tallying $235.1 million. That figure is up 13.8% over February 2024 Mississippi casino revenue .
Mississippi casinos’ monthly revenue rise was the third-biggest in the past 12 months. Additionally, average daily revenue rose from $7.1 million to $7.6 million.
Key takeaways:

Mississippi casinos had their best month in the past 12 months
Revenue was up nearly 14% compared to February
Online casinos are still illegal in Mississippi, but they could bring in millions in revenue if legalized

Legal Mississippi online casinos could bring in $53 million
Online casinos aren’t legal in Mississippi or any other state in the South. Data from the seven states where online casinos are legal show that the southern United States is missing out on millions of dollars in revenue because iGaming is outlawed:




State March online casino revenue Population (according to 2023 Census Bureau data) Per-capita revenue




Pennsylvania $233.1 million 13 million $17.93


Michigan $215.2 million 10 million $21.52


New Jersey $197.1 million 9.3 million $21.19


Connecticut $44.3 million 3.6 million $12.31


West Virginia $20.7 million 1.8 million $11.50


Delaware $4.6 million 1 million $4.6


Average $119.2 million 6.5 million $18.34




Mississippi (projected) $53.2 million 2.9 million $18.34




Based on PlayUSA’s projections, Mississippi online casinos could generate $53.2 million in revenue during its best months. Revenue of that magnitude would make Mississippi the fifth-biggest iGaming market in the country.
Multiple records fall in March for Mississippi casinos
Individual revenue records drove March’s unprecedented numbers for each of the state’s three casino regions:

Coastal: $149 million
Northern: $53.7 million
Central: $32.4 million

While the Central and Northern regions barely beat their record, the Coastal region blew past its previous high of $142.1 million in March 2023. This past month was the first time in state history a region posted more than $145 million in adjusted gross revenue.
