The Casinos & Gaming Data Guide (2026)

Casinos & Gaming is one of the most regulator-dependent slices in Datadory's catalog: 6 of the 12 primary datasets come straight from gaming regulators. Pool the 2 related records in and the industry totals 14 datasets - small next to the 1,744 datasets Datadory catalogs overall, but unusually deep per record, with a mean quality score of 8.33 against a catalog-wide average of 7.81 and 9 of 12 records scoring 8 or higher (75%, versus 62.8% catalog-wide).

Demand context arrives alongside the revenue layer: the LVCVA's Las Vegas visitation series (1970-present), UNLV's gaming statistics archive back to 1963 and World Casino Directory's global property profiles, with The Odds API supplying point-in-time betting odds from 40+ bookmakers.

Every one of the 14 records documents its own field dictionary, sample rows and coverage span - county, game type and denomination at the Nevada board, concessionaire splits at Macau's DICJ, premises mapped to local authorities in the UKGC register - so the grain is visible before anything lands in a model. Browse the full pool with quality scores on the casinos-gaming data hub.

The 12 primary records sort into four working groups - US and Macau regulator revenue filings, the UK regulator's registers and statistics, demand context and archives, and API-native feeds plus ML corpora - plus one off-topic record to skip.

US and Macau regulator revenue filings

UK regulator registers and statistics

Demand context and archives

• LVCVA Research Center - Tourism & Gaming-Adjacent Reports (quality 8). The monthly Executive Summary of Tourism Indicators carries about 40 measures - visitor volume, hotel occupancy, ADR, RevPAR and convention attendance - plus a historical visitation table back to 1970 (roughly 56 annual observations) as PDF and Excel with an interactive Tourism Tracker. The 2025 baseline: 38.5 million visitors and $80.9 billion in total economic impact.
• World Casino Directory (quality 8). One record per property across roughly 240 countries and territories - address, geocoordinates, table-game and slot-machine counts, poker tables and open/closed flags - organized down to city level, with 175 records on the Las Vegas city page alone.
• UNLV Special Collections - Gaming and Gambling Research Collections (quality 7). A curated Gaming Industry Statistics portal of roughly 40-60 published PDFs with Nevada, US-state and national footprint series from 1963 and revenue series from 1984 through 2025, monthly state revenue reports from 2012, plus oral histories, photographs and casino property papers.

API-native feeds and ML corpora

The off-topic record to skip

• Digest of UK Energy Statistics (DUKES) - Coal (quality 9). The slice's one record that measures something else entirely: DESNZ's annual coal chapter (ten Excel workbooks plus an 8-page PDF commentary, long-run tables back to 1970, latest edition published 30 July 2026) is filed under Casinos & Gaming with coal as its secondary industry. Useful for energy work; irrelevant to casino revenue models.

Ten recurring jobs define how teams use this pool, and each maps to named records:

The strongest casinos & gaming sources share three traits, and each one decides whether a project survives contact with production:

None of these traits shows up in a screenshot. They show up in sample rows - which is why every Datadory record leads with real rows and a documented field dictionary before any commitment.

Data Scientists & ML Engineers. Their queries - "where to get training data for casinos & gaming models" and "datasets with documented schema" - resolve to Parquet-loadable corpora and regulator files. Catalog-wide, 666 of the 1,744 datasets reach top-tier relevance for this persona. In this slice, the Hugging Face casino search (30 datasets in Parquet, CSV and Arrow) and the Nevada Gaming Control Board's 268+ archived monthly reports carry the training and feature-engineering work; start at the data scientists hub for the catalog-wide ranking.

Market Researchers & Consultants. Searches like "casinos & gaming market size by country data" and "where do consultants get their data" map to GGY-by-sector benchmarks and per-casino revenue tables. Across the catalog, 786 datasets rate as strongly relevant for the persona. The UKGC Industry Statistics releases and the four regulators' monthly filings are citable institutional sources that survive client scrutiny; the market researchers hub ranks them against alternatives.

Investors & Quant Researchers. The standard question - "how do quants use casinos & gaming data" - resolves to regional revenue series as demand proxies and point-in-time odds for pricing models. Catalog-wide, 180 of the 286 records tagged strongly relevant to this persona come from public or hybrid government sources - regulator data dominates the quant stack, which is exactly what 6 of these 12 records are. The Odds API's historical snapshots (10-minute intervals from June 2020) are the slice's backtestable asset, but note the NGCB's own warning that figures change after late filings and audits - a restatement risk for point-in-time work.

Journalists, Academics & Students. "Casinos & gaming statistics for journalism" and "where do journalists find data stories" both land on official numbers with named publishers. Catalog-wide, 896 datasets earn this persona's top relevance rating. UNLV's archive (footprint series from 1963), the LVCVA visitation table from 1970 and New Jersey's Atlantic City tax summaries from 1978 supply the decades-deep citation trail a newsroom or dissertation needs.

Of the 1,744 datasets Datadory catalogs, the average quality score is 7.81 out of 10, with 62.8% of records scoring 8 or higher. Casinos & Gaming beats both baselines: the slice's mean quality score is 8.33, and 9 of 12 primary records score 8 or higher - anchored by the pool's single perfect 10, the Nevada Gaming Control Board.

Eight questions cover most of what searchers ask about this pool - who publishes the monthly revenue files, what the UK register contains, how Macau splits its numbers, what the odds feeds cover, and how far back the archives run.
