Stateline casinos recorded their worst August on record.

The $21.9 million take is a drop of 29 percent from a year ago. Records for casino revenue have been kept since 1983.

Overall, Nevada casinos took in $847 million in August, which is 9.3 percent less than 2008. This is the 20th consecutive month the state’s casinos have had year-over-year declines, the Gaming Control board said Thursday.

The bright spot is the casinos are doing better with baccarat – a more high-stakes came. Slot machines are down the most – 13.4 percent, while table games are off 3.7 percent throughout the state.
