The trend of falling casino revenue continued for the City of Quesnel in 2025.
Director of Finance Kari Bolton says this year’s total is approximately 370 thousand dollars.
That is down from $419,000 in 2024, and almost $500,000 in both 20-23 and 20-22.
It peaked back in 2007 when the city’s take was $692,000.
The city receives 10 percent of net revenues from the Billy Barker Casino.
Bolton says the city budgets for about 500 thousand each year, but still has funds available from prior years that haven’t been used yet.
The casino opened in 1997.
