Reno Gaming Revenue 2020
Reno produced $485.6 million in gaming win during 2020. That's down 22.5 percent from 2019, a drop of $141.2 million. It's the weakest of the 22 full years on record for Reno.
Among the ten reported sub-areas it places 3rd, contributing 6.2% of statewide win. Slot machines produced 80.5% of that, with table, counter and card games taking 19.5%. The largest gain came from Sports Pool at $4.46 million; the largest decline was slot machines, down $111.4 million.
April and May report zero win because there was none: Nevada ordered every casino closed on 18 March 2020, and gaming didn't resume until 4 June.

About Reno
Reno is northern Nevada's largest gaming market, mixing destination visitation from Northern California with a substantial local player base. Its revenue mix has shifted over the last decade as the regional economy diversified beyond gaming. Separate reporting begins in 2018; earlier Reno-area figures are only available at the Washoe County level.

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