Travellers during spring break as well as the March Madness college basketball tournament were strong factors that helped Nevada rebound with casinos’ strongest gaming win since February 2013 and third highest Sports Betting handle of all time.
The good news comes ahead of Nevada release of further restrictions on May 1 and further measures the following month when casinos will be completely open up to full capacity.
In its latest announcements, the Nevada Gaming Control Board reported a gaming win of $1.06 billion in March, a gain of 72.6 per cent compared to March 2020 when casinos were shut for almost three months. The gaming win was 4 per cent higher than March 2019.
The gain wasn’t surprising since 2.57 million passed through McCarran International Airport, nearly one million more than February and the highest monthly total since the reopening.
However, these numbers are still well below the 4.4 million mark registered in March 2019.
Nevada increased its gaming capacity from 35 to 50 per cent on last month, days ahead of the start of the NCAA basketball tournament whose watch parties are a big driver of tourism.
I was just there and was actually not happy about wearing a mask everywhere and the slots were tight!!!
