Missouri's 13 licensed casinos generated $171.4 million in adjusted gross revenue in August, down 3.5% year-over-year, according to figures published by the Missouri Casino Gaming Commission.
Slot machines accounted for the bulk of the total, generating $150.2m, down 1% year-over-year, while table games brought in $21.1m, down 17.7%.
The decline follows a stronger July, when the state's casinos posted $176.8m in revenue, a 5.4% increase over the prior year, according to the Commission's own monthly reporting.
