Nevada casinos continued their winning ways in September. The state’s 322 licensed casinos collectively won more than $1.158 billion last month.<\/p>\n

The Numbers supplied by the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) today reveal the 41 percent gain on Sept 2020.<\/p>\n

September 2021 easily eclipsed the best September on record for Nevada’s gaming industry. The $1.158 billion haul surpassed the previous best September mark of $1.059 billion, which was set in 2019. The NGCB reported that casino gambling generated over $72.9 million in taxes and fees last month.<\/p>\n

Strong demand across markets, the continued rebound of leisure travel, and the return of special events and entertainment continued to propel the gaming win past 2019 levels,\u201d<\/strong> said Michael Lawton, the NGCB’s senior economic analyst.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

September was highlighted by a great return of business to the Las Vegas Strip. The largest gaming market in the United States reported year-over-year growth of nearly 81 percent, gross gaming revenue (GGR) on the main drag totaling $640.6 million.<\/p>\n

The Strip’s September performance is almost 10 percent better than what S. Las Vegas Blvd. casinos raked in during their previous best September back in 2019.<\/p>\n

Winning Streak Continues<\/b><\/h2>\n

September was yet another prosperous month for Nevada’s gaming industry.<\/p>\n

Slot machines led the way in gross gaming revenue (GGR) with $780.5 million. Blackjack was next at $92.2 million, baccarat third at $83.6 million, and sportsbooks fourth at $54.2 million.<\/p>\n

\n

Nevada oddsmakers took approximately $787 million in bets last month. That’s considerably lower than the more than $1 billion New Jersey oddsmakers processed in September. But it still ranks second among the 27 states and DC that have legal sports betting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

September was the seventh consecutive month where Nevada casinos eclipsed the $1 billion mark<\/a>. If they can achieve 10-digit revenue in October, it would match the state’s longest $1 billion monthly streak of eight consecutive months.<\/p>\n

Nevada casinos won at least $1 billion from October 2006 through May 2007.<\/p>\n

Vegas Strong, Tahoe Tumbles<\/b><\/h2>\n

Clark County accounted for more than $1 billion of the state’s $1.158 billion in gaming revenue last month. Seven of the county’s eight metered markets reported year-over-year GGR gains.<\/p>\n

The Strip’s nearly 81 percent surge was the biggest riser. But downtown Las Vegas casino reported a GGR increase of 41 percent. Fremont Street won a little more than $73 million from gamblers last month.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boulder Strip revenues climbed 7.3 percent to $81.4 million, while North Las Vegas casinos performed 13.2 percent better to $22.3 million.<\/p>\n

\n

Laughlin was the lone Clark County market that saw its GGR decline from September 2020. Casino revenue there tumbled about four percent to $37.3 million. The two other markets to experience year-over-year gaming drops in September were the north and south Lake Tahoe regions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Caldor fire<\/a> in late August was blamed for the Lake Tahoe declines. South Lake Tahoe reported the steepest slide, gaming falling 77 percent to $5.6 million. Casino resorts in the area were evacuated around the Labor Day holiday weekend due to the raging fires.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
