The University of Nevada Las Vegas Center for Gaming Research compiled data from across the board in regards to casino earnings. The state of Nevada was able to account for around 27% of the total earnings with US$ 991 million produced.
Moving to the East Coast, Atlantic City had a strong month with casino gaming bringing in US$ 221.8 million. This was just over 9% more than the win from March 2016. The gambling industry of Illinois was also up with close to a 10% increase with their US$ 249.9 million for the month.
Pennsylvania managed to stay flat with US$ 289.5 million in earnings. This is a bit surprising as the state is home to the second largest commercial casino gambling market in the US. Maryland is still on a high thanks to the MGM National Harbor, having been able to see an increase YOY of 44.2% with US$ 141.1 million in earnings.
Looking back to the first of the year, the commercial casino industry of the United States saw an increase in January of 3.5% with US$ 3.38 billion earned. In February, this total was up just slightly to US$ 3.39 billion though this was a decrease of 2% when compared to the same month last year.
