Inflation may be soaring, supply chains are snarled and the coronavirus just won’t go away. But America’s casinos are humming right along.
The trade group also released its annual State of the States report on Wednesday, examining gambling's performance across the country.
But the report includes new details, including that commercial casinos paid a record $11.69 billion in direct gambling tax revenue to state and local governments in 2021. That's an increase of 75% from 2020 and 15 percent from 2019. This does not include the billions more paid in income, sales and other taxes, the association said.
The association divides most of Pennsylvania's casinos into three separate markets: Philadelphia, the Poconos and Pittsburgh. Their combined revenue of nearly $2.88 billion would make them the second largest market in the country if judged as a single entity. It also counts downtown Las Vegas, and its $731 million in revenue, as a separate market.The group reported many states saw gamblers spending more in casinos while visiting them in lower numbers compared to pre-pandemic 2019.
