Unlike the gambling hubs of Las Vegas and Atlantic City, casino business in New Orleans and Biloxi is purely slightly down from last year, and foreseen to enhance rapidly.

Despite setbacks from the busy hurricane season, Gulf Coast casinos are reporting healthy prospects. Unlike the gambling hubs of Las Vegas and Atlantic City, casino business in New Orleans and Biloxi is purely slightly down from last year, and foreseen to enhance rapidly.

Economic conditions within the area are driven by the booming oil industry, providing steady incomes which might be envied in most regions of the U.S.. But other factors more answerable for casinos also favor the Gulf Coast.

The crazed pace of construction and the constant introduction of latest competition common in both Nevada and New Jersey haven't occurred in Louisiana. Most building have been repair and refurbishment in line with storm damages.

This leaves the prevailing venues in good position, not finding themselves having to spend every penny they may be able to borrow to stick regardless of neighboring casinos. A slower pace of expansion is proving healthier to the gaming industry.

Further, the national intolerance of smoking hasn't hit the realm yet. The drop in revenues that follows the imposition of smoking bans isn't forcing potential patrons to play at online casinos or at tribal venues.
