Where Winners Play

Slot hold percentage, or the casino “win” on slots, varies rather dramatically in Nevada, depending upon where you play. In destination regions like the Las Vegas Strip and Downtown, Laughlin and the Lake Tahoe area, slot hold is solidly over 6 percent. In “locals” markets, it doesn’t dent the 6 percent level.

The information in the chart and graph were provided by the Center for Gaming Research at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. For detailed revenue reports for Nevada and the entire U.S., visit gaming.unlv.edu.
