When revenue figures from tribal-owned casinos are released separately later this year, they are expected to show that overall casino gambling brought in close to $110 billion to U.S. casino operators in 2023. That all happened in a year in which inflation, while receding, still kept things like grocery and energy costs higher than they had been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not even the pre-holiday shopping crunch discouraged gamblers from laying their money down: casinos won $6.2 billion in December and $17.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2023, both of which set records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five new sports betting markets that became operational in 2023 &#8212; Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Nebraska and Ohio &#8211; contributed to that and generated a combined $1.49 billion in revenue. By the end of the year, Massachusetts and Ohio established themselves among the country&#8217;s top 10 sports betting states by revenue, New Jersey and Illinois exceeded $1 billion in annual sports betting revenue for the first time, and New York topped all states with $1.69 billion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Commercial gaming revenue in the U.S. topped $60 billion last year for the first time ever, according to a new report from the American Gaming Association, driven by a modest rise in slot and table gaming<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1684,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"1970-01-01 02:00:00","action":"","terms":[],"taxonomy":"","browser_timezone_offset":0},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/agib.bg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1686"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/agib.bg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/agib.bg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agib.bg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agib.bg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1686"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/agib.bg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1686\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1695,"href":"https:\/\/agib.bg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1686\/revisions\/1695"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agib.bg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1684"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/agib.bg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agib.bg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agib.bg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
