The state total of $59.8 million monthly AGP (Adjusted Gross Proceeds) slipped slightly from the glitzy August figure of $60.8 million, but was nearly 10% better than last September�s $54.4 million. 

Leading the way, as usual, were the 20 casinos in Black Hawk;  their $41.88 million in AGP also trailed August�s $42.77 million,  but was still a healthy 10.5% higher than September, 2000�s $37.88 million.
 

Cripple Creek similarly slipped behind the August figures, with an AGP of $12.84 million down just fractionally from August�s $12.86 million, but up strongly (roughly 3.5%) from last September�s $12.4 million.  

Central City actually posted the most impressive year-to-year gains;  its $5 million in AGP was also down slightly from August�s $5.1 million, but was almost 22% above the $4.1 million of the previous September.  

With the excellent revenue showing and the higher tax rates of Colorado�s progressive gaming tax structure kicking in, state tax revenues showed the biggest jump, with this September�s $6.9 million nearly 17% higher than last September�s $5.9 million;  Black Hawk casinos paid nearly 85% of the total.
