ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — America's commercial casinos won $66.5 billion from gamblers in 2023, the industry's best year ever, according to figures released by its national trade association Tuesday.
The American Gaming Association said that total was 10% higher than in 2022, which itself was a record-setting year.
When revenue figures from tribal-owned casinos are released separately later this year, they are expected to show that overall casino gambling brought in close to $110 billion to U.S. casino operators in 2023.
That all happened in a year in which inflation, while receding, still kept things like grocery and energy costs higher than they had been.
