SIOUX CITY—CASINOS ALL ACROSS THE STATE AND IN SIOUX CITY HAVE SEEN A SLIGHT DECLINE IN REVENUE IN FISCAL 2009.
THE IOWA RACING AND GAMING COMMISSION REPORTS THE CASINOS BROUGHT IN OVER $2.5-MILLION LESS THAN THE RECORD $1.4-BILLION FOR FISCAL 2008.
KEES EDER, VICE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL MANAGER OF ARGOSY CASINO SIOUX CITY SAYS THE SAME AMOUNT OF VISITORS ARE ENJOYING THE CASINO, JUST SPENDING LESS DURING THIS CONOMIC DOWNTURN.
EDER SAYS SOME CASINOS, SUCH AS THE DIAMOND JO IN DUBUQUE, WHICH WENT FROM A RIVERBOAT TO A LARGE LAND BARGE, WERE SUCCESSFUL.
HE SAYS THAT MAY BE IN ARGOSY’S FUTURE, SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE.
HE SAYS ANY EXPANSION WILL DEPEND ON THE FUTURE ECONOMIC CLIMATE.
