Nevada casinos predictably experienced a second straight month with revenues at all-time lows in May as the state completed its second full month of a brick-and-mortar gambling shutdown in response to the outbreak of coronavirus.
One example is the Silver State casinos who won $5.8 million in May. The numbers represent a 99.4 percent year-over-year drop from May 2019. In April, the first full month of the coronavirus-induced gambling shutdown saw Silver State casinos pull in $3.6 million.
The Las Vegas Strip, despite being closed for the month, was responsible for $3.77 million of the state’s total revenue. With Caesars Entertainment owning the only online poker client available to Nevadans, it’s likely that’s where the numbers stem from. Since Nevada regulators are not allowed to provide numbers for a single operator, which is the case here, those numbers were redacted in the report.
Downtown Las Vegas reported $1.98 million in total gambling revenue, which represented a 96.38 percent drop. It was the smallest percentage decline of any area in the state.
