State Lottery revenue dropped in December, hurt by plunging business at West Virginia’s four racetrack casinos, presumably as a spike in COVID-19 cases dampened patronage.

For the month, the Lottery had gross revenue of $87.5 million, down about $3 million from November, and down $6.63 million from December 2019, according to figures provided by the Lottery Commission.

Racetrack video lottery revenue at the four casinos fell to $28.46 million for the month, down 28% from November, and down 29% from December 2019, when racetrack slots took in $40.27 million.

Table games revenue at the four casinos dropped to $2.08 million in December, down 28% from November, and down 34% from December 2019.
