January was a good month for Stateline casinos, which posted revenue gains of 14.83 percent over 2017.

The state win was up 2 percent. The $1.015 billion figure represents the first time in a year the gain has hit the billion-dollar mark.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports, “It was the 36th time the state has recorded more than $1 billion in monthly win, a level first achieved in March 2005. The highest monthly win ever came in October 2007, when the state recorded $1.165 billion. January’s win total wasn’t among the top 10.”

North Lake Tahoe and the Vegas Strip were the only sectors reporting a decline in January.
