Sparks Gaming Revenue 2020
Sparks produced $110.5 million in gaming win during 2020. The figure sits 20.3 percent below 2019, giving back $28.1 million. It's the weakest of the 22 full years on record for Sparks.
Among the ten reported sub-areas it places 8th, contributing 1.4% of statewide win. Slot machines carried 91.3% of it, leaving table games a thin 8.7%. The largest gain came from Sports Pool at $384,000; the largest decline was slot machines, down $23.2 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 Sparks
Sparks adjoins Reno to the east and functions largely as a locals market, with a heavier slot weighting and steadier month-to-month revenue than Reno itself. Separate reporting begins in 2018.
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.
