Abysmal numbers for Stateline casinos

Lake Tahoe was a bit of a ghost town in April and it was even worse in the casinos.

Stateline’s casino revenues dropped 42.3 percent last month compared to 2013. This was the largest drop in the state.

The state Gaming Control Board today said revenues throughout the state fell less than 1 percent (0.27 percent) to $852 million, compared to $854.3 million in 2013. State numbers have fallen three out of the first four months of the year.
