The top line takeaway from the Nevada Gaming Control Board\u2019s<\/strong> first revenue report of 2018 was a disappointing two percent decline in total casino revenue.<\/p>\n

Zooming in to individual games, January was more of a mixed bag. Slot revenue was up over three percent, but table games were down over 10 percent.<\/p>\n

Poker revenue managed to avoid the table game downturn, as revenue was more or less flat year-over-year. In January 2018, Nevada\u2019s poker rooms generated $8,996,000<\/strong>, compared to the $9,001,000<\/strong> they collectively generated in January 2017.<\/p>\n
