The Nevada Gaming Control Board has released ps for February 2024.
Starting with the state of Nevada as a whole, revenue increased by 8.5%, up to $1.34bn, when compared to the month before.
Table games totalled $514.6m, marking an increase of 24%, while slot machines barely crept up 0.6% for a total of $827.6m.
Taxable revenue for Nevada fell 2% down to $1.17bn.
Focusing on the Las Vegas Strip area, the total win amount was $800.7m, which is an increase of 17% when compared to the year prior and 12% to the month prior.
Unsurprisingly, baccarat once again came out on top, with a total revenue of $180.5m over 413 units – the statewide total was $180.1m.
This month, revenue attributed to baccarat alone skyrocketed by 82% annually and 86% from January.
This follows a recent trend of baccarat rising in popularity on the Las Vegas Strip, outperforming everything other than multi-denomination slots.
In comparison, revenue this month from blackjack was $107.9m, one-cent slots were $78.8m and roulette was $24.4m.
Also in line with the trend was an overall decline, with an exception for baccarat.
The $24.4m revenue from roulette was a 28% decline from last month, Pai Gow dropped 278% to -$243,000 and all of the slots other than multi-denominations fell somewhere around 30%.
To be specific, one-cent slots decreased by 29%, one-dollar slots fell by 27%, and both five-dollar and 25-dollar slots were in decline by 28%.
Racebooks reported a drop of 11% down to $726,000 in revenue, but sports wagering on mobile rose 136% to $9.9m.
