Decrease in gambling earnings at Kansas casinos by 5.3% from the previous year in June
=================================================
In June 2025, the revenue of all four casinos in Kansas saw a year-over-year decline, contributing to an overall decrease of 5.3% in the state's casino revenue.
The largest percentage drop was seen at Boot Hill Casino, with a decline of 13.46%, followed by Dodge City casino with a drop of 13.5%. The revenue of Boot Hill Casino in June 2025 was $3.5 million, down from $4.1 million in the same month the previous year. Dodge City casino brought in $3.5 million in June 2025, a decrease from $4.1 million in June 2024.
Hollywood Casino, the largest contributor to state casino revenue (over 40%), saw a 4.88% decrease year-over-year, with a revenue of $13.8 million in June 2025, down from $14.4 million in June 2024. Kansas Star Casino and Kansas Crossing Casino also reported declines of 3.46% and 4.77%, respectively. The revenue of Kansas Star Casino in June 2025 was $13.5 million, and that of Kansas Crossing Casino was $3.4 million.
Despite this dip in June revenue, the overall casino sector's revenue for the year-to-date in 2025 is $418.7 million, an increase compared to the $408 million recorded for the same period in 2024.
It is worth noting that month-to-month revenue was down 9% compared to May 2025. This decline in casino revenue contrasts with sports betting handle growth in Kansas in prior years, though sports betting revenue fell 7.8% from May to June 2025.
The Kansas Lottery released figures for the casino revenue in June 2025, but no direct cause for the revenue decline, such as operational changes, market conditions, or policies, was specified in the sources. The uniform revenue decline across all casinos suggests common factors affecting demand or consumer spending on casino gambling during June 2025 versus June 2024.

- The decline in casino revenue in Kansas, as indicated by the figures released by the Kansas Lottery in June 2025, may have been influenced by a reduction in consumer spending on casino games such as slot machines, poker, and blackjack.
- Despite the uniform year-over-year decline in casino revenue among the four casinos in Kansas, there could be opportunities for revival in the casino-and-gambling sector, particularly in lotteries, possibly due to changes in market conditions or consumer preferences.
