Stateline gaming results bring down entire state

Gamblers did better than the casinos in September compared to a year ago.

Throughout Nevada the winnings were 5.9 percent below 2010 figures.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board on Nov. 9 said casinos took in $864 million from gamblers, $53.8 million less than the previous September.

One of the worst regions was Stateline, which saw a decline of 14.3 percent year over year. The Carson Valley-Carson City area fared better, but still fell 2.5 percent. Reno, though, came through with 2.6 percent increase.
