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 That said, a deeper dive into the numbers shows the 2018 tally is stronger than it looks. The NGCB counted 65 poker rooms<\/strong> and 596 poker tables<\/strong> in January 2017. This year\u2019s numbers are 63 poker rooms<\/strong> and 568 poker tables<\/strong>, according to the NGCB.<\/p>\n Taking this into account, on a per table basis, January 2018 outperformed January 2017:<\/p>\n This is a continuation of the trends that emerged in 2017. Despite a dwindling number of poker rooms and tables, the remaining rooms and tables became more efficient revenue generators.<\/p>\n In January 2018, Gaming counted 38 poker rooms in Clark County, which includes the heavily trafficked and larger poker rooms from Las Vegas. In January, those rooms possessed a total of 453 poker tables. Even though it\u2019s a significant decline from a year ago, those numbers are largely unchanged from December\u2019s totals: 38 poker rooms and 455 poker tables.<\/p>\n Clark County has over 90 percent of the total poker market share in Nevada. In January, Clark County poker rooms accounted for $8,129,000 of the $8,996,000 poker dollars collected by the state\u2019s card rooms.<\/p>\n\n
