Stateline’s drop in gaming revenue in February was not as bad as it was statewide.

Throughout Nevada casinos took in $926 million, a drop of 13.7 percent compared to 2013. On the South Shore the number was $15 million, for a 10 percent decline.

Reno casinos saw a slight uptick at 1 percent or $44 million.

Friday was the first time the Gaming Control Board broke out the figures for online poker. That revenue was $824,000. The first of the state’s three online poker sites started 10 months ago. Since that time online poker has accounted for $8.5 million in gaming revenue.

    Further evidence that dry winter roads and clear weather no longer result in more gamblers and business at Stateline casinos.
