For the 12th consecutive month, Nevada casinos have managed to generate over $1 billion in gambling revenue. The Nevada Gaming Control Board has released the numbers for February, with the states casinos officially earning $1.1 billion in profits. Additionally, February set a new all time revenue record for Nevada, up nearly 45% from the year before. Not too shabby for a month with just 28 days in it! The outlook moving forward, however, is not quite as optimistic as it has been for the past several months when it comes to Nevada casinos. First, there are concerns about rising inflation…

Nevada casinos have come roaring back after the Coronavirus pandemic had them closed for a significant time last year. Now, all casinos have set a record in May by winning $1.23 billion. It’s the highest single-month win in the state’s history, blowing past a $1.165 billion record set in October 2007.
