CBRE Equity Research analyst John DeCree said September saw a slot volume decline from September 2022. It marked the first time slot volume dropped year over year since June 2020, when casinos were allowed to reopen after being shuttered on government orders.<\/p>\n
\nWe suspect the cyberattack that disrupted MGM’s slot systems in September could be to blame for the decline in slot handle,” DeCree said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Visitation was also likely impacted by the MGM issues. About 3.3 million people visited Las Vegas in September, a 0.5% year-over-year drop. Occupancy on the Strip was also down, with DeCree saying the decline “could be partially attributed to the cyberattack.”<\/p>\n
