Nevada casinos set a record in November, reporting a ninth straight month of $1 billion or more in house winnings
LAS VEGAS -- Nevada casinos set a record in November, reporting a ninth straight month of $1 billion or more in house winnings, gambling regulators said Wednesday, providing another sign that business in the nation’s tourist-dependent gambling mecca has returned to pre-pandemic levels.
The $1.32 billion in casino winnings reported statewide last month was up from $1.22 billion in October, and almost reached the record $1.36 billion figure set last July, the Nevada Gaming Control Board reported.
The streak beat the previous record of eight consecutive months set before the Great Recession, from October 2006 to May 2007, board senior analyst Michael Lawton said.
Nevada sports betting also set records — reaping a record $72 million in November on sports wagers totaling $1.1 billion.
