Revenue by game in Nevada, 2020

About Nevada
Statewide totals cover every nonrestricted gaming licensee in Nevada, meaning any casino licensed for more than fifteen slot machines or for table games. Restricted locations, the taverns and convenience stores running a handful of machines by the door, get reported separately and aren't included here. This is the number the Control Board leads with each month, and the one most often quoted as "Nevada gaming revenue."
Other Nevada markets in 2020
All figures are gaming win at nonrestricted locations, taken from the Nevada Gaming Control Board's monthly Gaming Revenue Information reports. Win is what casinos kept after paying winning wagers, before taxes and operating costs. Restricted locations, the taverns and stores running fifteen machines or fewer, are reported separately and excluded here.
