There is nothing like breaking a record. Just ask the Milwaukee Bucks<\/strong>. The franchise recently broke a 50-year record<\/strong> after defeating the Pheonix Suns<\/strong> to win the 2021 NBA Finals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While it’s not five decades, Nevada did shatter a 14-year single-month record<\/strong> in May<\/strong> by recording $1.23 billion<\/strong> in gaming revenue.<\/p>\n

According to figures released by the Nevada Gaming Control Board<\/strong>, the $1.23 billion generated<\/a> was a 25.3%<\/strong> increase from May 2019<\/strong>. The gaming board has been comparing data to 2019 statistics since all casinos were shut down in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

The previous single-month high for Nevada casino revenue was in October 2007<\/strong>, when the state recorded $1.165 billion<\/strong> in gaming revenue.<\/p>\n

Michael Lawton<\/strong>, a senior research analyst<\/strong> for the NGCB, told the Nevada Independent<\/em>, the May numbers could be attributed to record-breaking slot machine revenue and the baccarat business.<\/p>\n
