Figures released Tuesday, Aug. 10 by the American Gaming Association show the nation's commercial casinos had their best second quarter in history, with $13.6 billion in revenue, and are on pace to have their best year ever in 2021 as gamblers return to in-person casinos.
Data released Tuesday by the American Gaming Association, the casino industry’s national trade group, show that America’s casinos had their best second quarter in history, taking in $13.6 billion. The more contagious delta variant of the virus, which became a worsening problem at the end of the second quarter, now accounts for most new cases in the U.S.
Many gamblers say they are happy to be able to visit casinos in person this year after enduring pandemic shutdowns. “When going now, I still mask up to reduce the chance of inadvertently contracting and transmitting to those that are not vaccinated, especially those under 12,” Brandon said.The association said casinos remain open without capacity restrictions in all 25 states that currently have commercial casinos .
