Rivers Casino Again Leads Way in Illinois Casino Report

Illinois’ 15 casinos reported more than $129 million in Total Adjusted Gross Receipts for October 2023, according to Wednesday’s report of the Illinois Gaming Board. That was about a 2.5% decline from September’s Total Adjusted Gross Receipts (TAGR) of about $132.34 million.

The decline in overall TAGR was mostly attributable to a dip in slots adjusted gross revenue, which slid a little more than $6 million month-to-month.

In terms of taxes for October, the state share was almost $32.14 million, and the local share was a little more than $7.74 million.

There are no legal Illinois online casinos.
