Nevada gaming revenue up 3.5% to $1.3bn in June despite tourism slowdown
Slots climb 9.2% while GGR rises overall, but lower visitation poses questions for H2 2025
Key points:
– Nevada gaming revenue rose 3.5% year-on-year in June 2025 to $1.3bn
– Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) increased, led by a 9.2% rise in slot revenue
– Las Vegas Strip revenue rose 0.9%, but visitation to Nevada declined
Nevada’s gaming sector saw a 3.5% year-on-year rise in revenue for June 2025, totalling $1.3bn, according to the latest figures from the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB). This increase follows three consecutive months of statewide revenue decline.
Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) also rose during the month, supported by gains across key markets including the Las Vegas Strip, which grew 0.9% to $765.3m. Downtown Las Vegas posted a 10.5% increase to $73.2m, while Clark County overall contributed $1.2bn – up 3.5% from June 2024.
However, the growth came against a backdrop of reduced visitation. According to Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) data, tourist arrivals fell year-on-year, raising concerns about the sustainability of revenue growth into the second half of 2025.
Other regions also reported revenue gains: Washoe County was up 4.7% to $91.4m, driven by a 5.6% rise in Reno to $67.8m. Sparks increased 1.8% to $13.7m. South Lake Tahoe and Carson Valley rose 2.6% and 4.9%, respectively. Elko County was the only major region to report a decline, down 0.5% to $32.9m.
Good to know: In June 2025, the NGCB approved Apollo Global Management’s $6.3bn acquisition of IGT and Everi, with the deal closing in July
Slots remained the state’s primary revenue driver, generating $899.4m – a 9.2% increase. Multi-denomination slots led the category with $680.5m in revenue, up 21.7%.
Table game revenue fell 6.6% to $432.9m, with baccarat declining 8.1% to $126.3m. Despite this, the NGCB reported a 20.1% increase in percentage fee collections, totalling $83.7m for the month.
Online sports betting recorded strong gains, with operators posting $29.9m in win – up 78.4%. Baseball wagering accounted for $21.9m, while NFL betting led to $1.2m in operator losses.
Although June marked a return to growth, Nevada’s fiscal year revenue (July 2024–June 2025) closed down 0.8%. May’s revenue had declined 2.2%, including a 3.9% drop on the Strip.
The figures show improved performance, but declining tourist numbers suggest Nevada’s gaming sector may face headwinds in H2 2025.
