|
The one-armed bandits took a record sum off gamblers in Nevada.
According to figures from the Nevada Gaming Control Board released late last week, slot machines statewide won $901.1 million from players during the month of March.
The machines held 7.5% of all wagers in March, meaning that more than $12 billion was wagered.
According to a report from The Nevada Independent citing a source at the NGCB, the slot revenue was a Nevada record for a single month.
About $396 million of the statewide $901.1 million in slot win come from casinos on the Las Vegas Strip. Those Strip casino slot machines were stingier in March relative to statewide, holding 8.55% of all the money bet on them.
The slot revenue was the big driver in another huge month overall for the Nevada casino industry. The NGCB said that nonrestricted gaming licensees reported a total gaming win of $1.355 billon for the month of March.
That was a 26.83% increase compared to March 2021, when licensees reported a gaming win of $1.068 billion. The $1.355 billion in March of this year brought the streak of billion-dollar months to 13. That’s never happened before in Nevada history.
