Nevada’s three online poker sites took in roughly $985,000 during the month of July, down from June’s $1.037 million, according to figures released Thursday by the state.
The World Series of Poker ended in mid-July, after starting in late May.
The poker tournament series, which draws thousands of poker players from all over the globe, is the reason why online poker revenue in June set a record, experts say.
Nevada regulated poker websites generated roughly $862,000 in revenue during May.
Thursday’s numbers also showed that Nevada’s nonrestricted gaming licensees reported total gaming win of nearly $932 million for the month of July 2014. This amounts to a 0.65-percent increase compared to July 2013, when licensees reported a gaming win of roughly $925.8 million.
Strip casinos reported a 4.8-percent gain year-over-year.
Nevada doesn’t release figures on the number of online poker players in the state.
