Nevada casinos continued a hot streak in December, tallying a 10th straight month of $1 billion or more in house winnings and propelling end-of-year figures to a record $13.4 billion.

A Nevada Gaming Control Board report released Thursday provided more evidence that gambling recovered last year after coronavirus closures in 2020.

The calendar-year casino winnings figure was up a healthy 11.6% in 2021 compared with $12 billion in per-pandemic 2019.

“This represents an all-time record for gaming win, beating the previous record set during calendar 2007 which totaled $12.8 billion,” board Senior Analyst Michael Lawton said.카지노사이트

He pointed to the rollout of coronavirus vaccines for eliminating capacity restrictions in casinos, and strong demand for gambling driven by “healthy consumer savings as the result of stimulus payments and the sustained rebound of leisure travel.”

Lawton noted that New Year’s Eve events returned to the Las Vegas Strip this year and said the return of special events and entertainment also contributed to the casino winnings results.

In a separate report, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority counted about 32 million visitors in 2021, down 24% from 42 million in 2019.
