What is the Nevada Gaming Control Board's gaming statistics program?
It is the statistical arm of the state agency that regulates Nevada gambling under the Nevada Gaming Commission, and it behaves like the auditor of record for the largest gaming market in the United States. The centerpiece is the Monthly Revenue Report: gaming win split across roughly twenty table-game types, every slot denomination from 1 Cent to $100 plus Multi Denomination, race books and both retail and mobile sports wagering, each cut by county area and by licensee revenue-range group, across one-month, three-month and twelve-month windows. A two-page Abbreviated Release carries the statewide headline and fee-tax collections; the annual Nevada Gaming Abstract follows every summer with a July-June financial analysis of nonrestricted licensees at or above $1 million in gaming revenue; Quarterly Statistics track taxable revenue and tax receipts; and Excel Count and Square Footage reports size the installed device base.
What do sample rows look like?
See the mono block above: five rows from the June 2026 Las Vegas Strip tables, transcribed during the August 2026 research pass. Each row pairs an installed base - 34 blackjack tables, 340 baccarat tables, 65,270 multi-denomination machines - with the win those positions produced and the percentage change against the prior-year window. Because Total Gaming closes every area block, area totals reconcile on arrival, and because each row keeps its locations-reported count, thin cells announce themselves instead of hiding inside averages.
What fields does the dataset include?
Ten core columns carry every monthly observation - see the field dictionary above: unit description, county area, revenue range, reporting period, locations, units, win amount in thousands, percent change, win percent and reporting licensees. The remaining published layers fold under additional fields on request: the Taxable Gaming Revenue appendix, the Abbreviated Release, the Abstract's fiscal-year financial lines, the Quarterly Statistics series, and the Excel count and square-footage reports. Nothing in the dictionary is inferred from column names; all of it was mapped against the published report layouts and marked verified.
Where does coverage run across geography, time and granularity?
Geographically it is Nevada end to end - not just the Strip. Eleven-ish areas cover Clark County's Strip, Downtown, North Las Vegas, Laughlin, Boulder and Mesquite; Washoe County's Reno and Sparks; Carson Valley; Elko; and the rest of the rural counties, each reported alongside the statewide total. Temporally the monthly archive reaches back to January 2004 - 268+ consecutive issues - with the Abstract layering fiscal years on top and Quarterly Statistics filling the gaps. Granularly the cross-product matters more than any single axis: game type times denomination times area times revenue-range tier, per month, is what lets one dataset answer both 'how did Strip baccarat do last month' and 'how has Reno's penny-slot floor trended since 2010' from the same schema.

Who uses this data, and for what?
- Market researchers and consultants - the citable base layer for Las Vegas and Nevada market studies. Per-game, per-area win measured one consistent way since 2004 beats any republished aggregate when a claim has to survive review.
- Investors and quant researchers - the regulator-reported check on operator earnings. Strip baccarat win moving 19.73 percent down in June 2026 while multi-denomination slots moved 7.65 up is the kind of divergence a model wants observed monthly, not annually.
- Competitive intelligence teams - installed-unit counts and locations reporting by area turn floor expansion and contraction into measurable events rather than anecdotes.
- Policy analysts and economists - fee and tax collections beside taxable revenue tie gaming activity directly to state receipts, with county cuts that localize the story.
- Journalists - the original record, with suppression rules documented, so claims about small markets stay defensible.
Which personas get the most value?
Market Researchers & Consultants get scope, geography and history depth answered from the coverage alone. Investors & Quant Researchers get twenty-two years of monthly observations - deep enough to test whether any Strip signal actually led anything. Competitive Intelligence & Product Teams get capacity movements by area on a monthly clock. Data Scientists & ML Engineers get a stable panel schema that loads without entity-resolution work. Persona workflows sit at market researchers x casinos-gaming, investors & quants x casinos-gaming and data scientists x casinos-gaming. Start from the casinos-gaming data hub, then read vs New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement for how the two flagship US regulator records differ in shape.
Which notes and neighboring datasets pair with it?
Provenance note - published by the Nevada Gaming Control Board working under the Nevada Gaming Commission, the regulator that licenses and audits every nonrestricted licensee in the state. One methodology spans the monthly report, the Abstract and the quarterly series, which is why the three join cleanly.
Methodology note - win is what licensees retain after payouts, not customer spend: adjusted for credit play on tables and measured against dollars played on slots for win percent. Declines print in parentheses exactly as published, and revenue-range groups require four minimum locations with unit detail suppressed below three reporting locations - small-cell blanks are policy, not missing data.
Completeness note - Datadory scores this record 10/10, the only perfect score on the casinos-gaming shelf, on the strength of fully verified field definitions and a monthly archive reaching back to January 2004. Pre-2004 GRI depth and the full Abstract run are confirmed at sampling rather than asserted here.
Where to go next - pair the Nevada ledger with the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement record for the Atlantic City counterpart with internet gaming broken out, Macau DICJ monthly gross revenue for the Asian market, and World Casino Directory when the question turns from revenue to physical footprint. The sports wagering, gaming win and gaming device count glossary entries unpack the vocabulary this page leans on.

What teams do with it
- Gaming revenue modeling and forecasting Monthly win by game type and area back to January 2004 is the longest continuous per-game casino revenue panel in the country - enough runway to fit seasonality, event effects and trend per market segment instead of borrowing someone else's aggregate.
- Operator benchmarking by revenue tier Revenue-range groups separate $72-million-plus operators from smaller licensees inside the same county, so a property-level comparison can respect scale before drawing conclusions about execution.
- Sports wagering and iGaming market tracking Mobile and retail sports wagering carry their own lines with locations, win and hold, month after month - the fastest way to watch handle migrate to mobile apps without waiting on an operator earnings call.
- Slot floor economics research Win broken out by denomination from 1 Cent to $100 plus Multi Denomination shows where machine revenue actually concentrates - and how the mix shifts between areas - at a level no aggregated state total can offer.
- Economic impact and policy analysis Fee and tax collections ride beside taxable revenue, tying the industry's win directly to state receipts; county-area cuts let analysts isolate what gaming does to specific local economies.
Questions buyers ask
What does the Nevada Gaming Control Board gaming statistics publications data contain?
Monthly gaming win by game type, slot denomination, county area and licensee revenue-range group across one-, three- and twelve-month windows; the annual Nevada Gaming Abstract of licensees with $1 million or more in gaming revenue on a July-June fiscal year; quarterly taxable-revenue statistics; and Excel reports counting gaming devices and floor space.
How far back does the Nevada gaming win history go?
The monthly revenue report archive runs continuously from January 2004 through June 2026 - more than 260 consecutive issues - which makes it the longest continuous per-game, per-area casino revenue record available for the United States market. Fiscal-year Abstract coverage extends further back; exact depth is confirmed when you sample.
Can I get Las Vegas Strip gaming win broken out by individual game?
Yes. The Strip is its own reporting area inside Clark County, and within it roughly twenty table-game types - blackjack, baccarat, mini-baccarat, craps, roulette, Texas Hold'em variants and more - carry their own win, unit count, hold percentage and year-over-year change, alongside slot denominations and sports wagering.
Does this data include sports betting and mobile wagering?
Yes. Retail sports pools and mobile applications report separately with locations, win amounts, percentage change and win percent, month after month, so the migration of wagering to phones is observable directly in the series rather than inferred from press releases.
Why are some small-market cells missing unit details?
Regulator policy, not gaps in delivery. Revenue-range groups require a minimum of four locations, and unit detail is suppressed below three reporting locations, which prevents re-identifying individual operators. Suppressed cells still carry their win totals, and the rule travels with the data so no one mistakes policy for loss.
Can a sample be scoped to specific counties or game types?
Name the areas, unit types and starting month when requesting the sample and the extract returns cut to them with the field dictionary intact - a single Strip-by-game slice, a rural-counties panel, or the full statewide matrix running back through the 2004 archive.
