Investing in Louisiana’s People and Places
Promoting Growth & Community Revitalization
Job Creation & Workforce Development
Louisiana’s commercial casinos provide direct employment of over ten thousands of jobs in a wide range of fields, including hospitality, security, finance, technology, and culinary arts. These careers offer competitive wages, advancement opportunities, and benefits that help families thrive. Accompanying our direct employment is the creation of thousands of other jobs within the Louisiana vendors that support our industry. Our members are committed to local hiring and workforce training programs that prepare residents for long-term success.
Supporting Small Businesses & Local Vendors
Casinos stimulate regional economies by partnering with hundreds of Louisiana-based businesses — from food and beverage suppliers to contractors and professional service providers. These relationships support entrepreneurs, strengthen local supply chains, and keep revenue circulating within the state. An estimated additional 20,000+ jobs exist within the state supporting the casino industry as employees of our vendors.
Charitable Giving & Volunteerism
LCA member casinos are deeply involved in charitable initiatives that uplift communities and provide for those in need. Through financial donations, sponsorships, and volunteer service, our members support organizations focused on education, healthcare, veterans, disaster relief, and more. Whether it’s hosting blood drives, sponsoring local events, or donating to food banks, our members are committed to making a meaningful difference.
Tourism & Community Revitalization
As destinations for visitors from across the region, casinos play a central role in Louisiana’s tourism economy. They help attract over ten million out-of-state guests each year — many of whom dine, shop, and stay in nearby neighborhoods spending over $420M annually. This activity helps drive community revitalization and supports local attractions, hotels, and entertainment venues.
