About Elko County
Elko County sits in northeastern Nevada and includes West Wendover on the Utah border. Its gaming revenue answers to two mostly separate economies: cross-border traffic out of Utah, and the mining employment base around the city of Elko. That combination means it often moves independently of Las Vegas and Reno.
Other Nevada markets in 2014

Restricted locations, the taverns and stores running fifteen machines or fewer, are reported separately and excluded here.
