Numbers are Looking Very Good

Las Vegas is showing record highs for their slot machine and gambling incomes – having made $12.6 billion this year. This means slot machines and gambling revenues came up 8.3% over the previous year.

The Gaming Control Board released the figures this week, and many were excited to see where they were at. The board says that the Strip actually accounts for 53% of that win, even though they had a very slow summer. Then come November and December they saw their numbers start to climb.

In December alone, casinos across the state brought in $1.06 billion which is 17.1% higher than the year before. The Strip brought in almost $610 million in revenues which was up 23.4% from the previous year. Experts say that they had a lot of table games happening at that time, and that helps their bottom line a lot.

The board says that some of that has to do with the fact that they had a very strong New Year’s Eve weekend this year, plus the other events that were scheduled during that time – like the National Finals Rodeo which is held in December. Nine of the twelve months of last year the casinos brought in more than $1 billion.

Gamblers wagered $138 billion on slot machines, which was up 3.8% from the previous year; while across the state they brought in $8.3 billion just from the slot machines. Table games and sports wagers brought in $4.3 billion and $7.6 billion was wagered on baccarat.
