Like clockwork, the number of poker tables in Las Vegas, Nevada<\/strong> swells from May to July every year. The reason: the thousands of poker players that flock to the city from around the globe for the World Series of Poker<\/strong> that begins in late May.<\/p>\n This time around, Las Vegas poker rooms added nearly 100 poker tables in May<\/strong>, but that\u2019s just the buildup, the revenue bump from the WSOP won\u2019t be felt until next month.<\/p>\n Still, there was a solid year-over-year revenue increase in May, as the Nevada Gaming Control Board<\/strong> reported a 2.85 percent increase in poker revenue for the month.<\/p>\n Poker revenue reached $9,171,000, compared $8,917,000 the state\u2019s poker rooms collected in May 2017. However, it should be noted that the 2017 WSOP began on May 31, whereas the 2018 WSOP kicked off on May 29.<\/p>\n For the month of May, the NGCB counted 62 poker rooms<\/strong> and 688 tables<\/strong>. Interestingly, that\u2019s well below the number of tables the state\u2019s card rooms boasted in May 2017. Last year there was 62 poker rooms, but 724 tables.<\/p>\n On a per table basis, May 2018 easily bested last year\u2019s numbers:<\/p>\n Over the last three months, Nevada has averaged 616 poker tables at 63 separate locations<\/strong>. Those rooms generated $27,603,000<\/strong> over that period, a 2.36 percent increase<\/strong> over the same period last year.<\/p>\n Over the last 12 months Nevada has averaged 614 poker tables at 66 locations<\/strong>. During that time\u00a0the state\u2019s poker operators have generated $119,189,000<\/strong>, a 1.92 percent increase<\/strong> over the previous 12-month period.<\/p>\n All of the new tables in May can be found in Clark County \u2013 which includes Las Vegas. The NGCB counted 37 poker rooms<\/strong> and 572 poker tables<\/strong> in Clark County in the month of May. That\u2019s two fewer rooms than April, but 93 more tables.<\/p>\n Last May there were 38 poker rooms in Clark County. Those rooms boasted 599 poker tables.<\/p>\n Clark County routinely generates more than 90 percent of the total poker market share in Nevada. In May, Clark County poker rooms accounted for $8,353,000 of the $9,171,000 poker dollars collected by the state\u2019s card rooms.<\/p>\n New Players Get A Free Bonus At WSOP.com NJ<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/li>\n\n
