Nevada poker numbers are one of the more counterintuitive data sets you\u2019ll come across. For well over a year the industry has seen revenue trending up while the number of poker rooms and poker tables trend down.\u00a0 April 2018 saw both trends reverse.<\/p>\n
The Nevada Gaming Control Board<\/strong> reported a -1.09 percent year-over-year decrease in poker revenue for the month.<\/p>\n Poker revenue reached $8,350,000 in April, compared to $8,442,000 poker rooms collected in April 2017.<\/p>\n For the month, the NGCB counted 64 poker rooms and 595 tables. That\u2019s a solid bump on both fronts compared to March\u2019s 62 poker rooms and 567 poker tables. It\u2019s also an increase over April 2017, when the state boasted 64 poker rooms and 586 tables, marking the first time in recent memory that the number of poker tables has increased year-over-year.<\/p>\n The bump could represent some rooms getting an early start on the summer tournament season. A World Poker Tour<\/strong> stop, the Super High Roller Bowl<\/strong>, and the World Series of Poker<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Not surprisingly, on a per table basis, April 2018 dropped off from last year\u2019s numbers:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n May 2017: 62 poker rooms and 724 poker tables<\/p>\n June 2017: 62 poker rooms and 731 poker tables<\/p>\n July 2017: 63 poker rooms and 724 poker tables<\/p>\n August 2017: 63 poker rooms and 603 poker tables<\/p>\n September 2017: 62 poker rooms and 598 poker tables<\/p>\n October 2017: 61 poker rooms and 572 poker tables<\/p>\n November 2017: 62 poker rooms and 580 poker tables<\/p>\n December 2017: 61 poker rooms and 562 poker tables<\/p>\n January 2018:\u00a0 63 poker rooms and 568 poker tables<\/p>\n February 2018:\u00a0 64 poker rooms and 587 poker tables<\/p>\n March 2018: 62 poker rooms and 567 poker tables<\/p>\n April 2018: 64 poker rooms and 595 poker tables<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The NGCB counted 39 poker rooms and 479 poker tables in Clark County in the month of April, a 25-table increase over March. Clark County includes the heavily trafficked and larger poker rooms from Las Vegas.<\/p>\n As such, Clark County generates 90 percent of the total poker market share in Nevada. In April , Clark County poker rooms accounted for $7,555,000 of the $8,350,000 poker dollars collected by the state\u2019s card rooms.<\/p>\n The 39 rooms and 479 tables is a slight increase Y\/Y. In April 2017\u00a0 Clark County\u2019s 39 poker rooms possessed 471 poker tables.<\/p>\n New Players Get A Free Bonus At WSOP.com NJ<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/li>\n\n
