Gaming win up in Nevada; stagnant on South Shore

Stateline casinos did not continue their winning ways in July. With June seeing a 17 percent spike, July was flat at $30 million in revenue.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board on Sept. 10 released the latest numbers, which showed revenues increased in July by 17 percent compared to July 2011. Nevada casinos brought in just more than $1 billion in July, which compares $860 million a year ago.

The Las Vegas Strip is what made the difference. There revenues were $597 — up nearly 28 percent compared to 2011.
