As the economy overall picks up, Iowa's gambling industry makes headway too. Statewide casino revenues dropped for the first time since 1993 during the recession. Twelve of Iowa's 17 state-regulated casinos had higher revenues for the past six months than during the same July-December period in 2009. Statewide, casino revenues were up by a little less than 1 percent for the last six months compared with a year earlier, according to the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission. It's not a full recovery yet, but officials say at least they've hit bottom and are on the way back up.
