About Washoe County
Washoe County covers the Reno and Sparks markets along with the north shore of Lake Tahoe. It is Nevada's second gaming market by revenue and behaves differently from Clark County: a larger share of play comes from regional drive-in visitors and locals, which shows up as milder seasonality and a different mix of slots to table games.
Other Nevada markets in 2012
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.
