Statistics on Land-Based Casinos in the US
Now that we’ve answered the main question, it’s time we looked at some interesting facts and statistics related to land-based casinos in the US.
1. The Nevada gambling market generated around $14.84 Billion from casinos in 2022.
(Statista)
Home to the Las Vegas Strip, Nevada takes the top spot as the US’ highest-earning state from Casinos in 2022.
The closest state after Nevada was Pennsylvania, with $5.34 billion, and New Jersey, with $5.21 billion.
2. The number of Tribal casinos in the US rose to 523 in 2022.
(Statista, 500nations, NIGC)
Native Americans own and operate a large percentage of US casinos and gambling halls. Of the 574 federally recognized tribes, 245 manage casinos all across the US.
In 2022, the income from all Tribal casinos reached $32 billion, making up 43% of all casino gaming revenue in the US.
The amount of Native American casinos has been maintained to over 500 in the last five years, playing a crucial role in the US gambling market.

3. For 2022, the United States’ Gross Gaming Revenue grew to $60.42 billion.
(Statista, US News)
The US recorded a 14% increase in GGR in 2022, from $52.99 billion to $60.42 billion in a year. This amount substantially trumps the record from 2020, which was around $27.04 billion.
The figures above do not include the revenue gained from Tribal casinos, which report their income separately.
Below are the top 10 earners in the US gambling market:

4. WinStar World Casino & Resort is the biggest casino in the US, with a floor space of 400,000 square feet.
(Gambling.com)
With a nearly 400,000 sq. ft. gambling floor, OKC’s WinStar is one of the largest casinos in the US and the world, with over 10,000 slot machines and 155 table games, 55 of which are poker tables.
The two closest contenders for this title are the Mohegan Sun and the Foxwoods Resort Casino, boasting gaming floor areas of 364,000 and 344,000, respectively.

5. Pennsylvania received $2 billion in tax revenue from commercial casinos in 2021.
(Statista)
Though Nevada may be the dominant state in most respects regarding casino gambling, Pennsylvania makes the most money from the industry.
Even though its gross gambling revenue for 2021 was less than half of Nevada’s, Pennsylvania’s tax revenue was twice that of the Silver State – $2 billion compared to $1 billion.
This drastic contrast comes down to Pennsylvania’s stricter laws and tax rates imposed on gambling, which ensure the state profits well from the industry.
6. 34% of Americans visited casinos in 2022.
(American Gaming Association)
Given the size of the gambling industry in the US, it’s unsurprising that 34% of adult Americans went to casinos in 2022, making for a noticeable increase of 6% compared to the previous year.
Over 60% of Americans acknowledged the gambling industry’s positive economic impact and potential to create high-quality jobs, with 42% participating in some form of gambling in the past year.
This number of gamblers might seem alarming to US legislators as data suggests that 3 million Americans go into debt because of gambling, with average losses of around $55,000.
7. Gambling is entirely illegal in only two US states.
(The Daily Gazette)

Gambling is permitted in 48 of the 50 states, with Utah and Hawaii being the only exceptions.
Hawaii may legalize gambling in the future, but Utah’s large Mormon population and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ strong resistance make it impossible.
The Bottom Line
The US gambling industry is thriving in the aftermath of the pandemic, and we’re optimistic that the upward trend will continue in the future.
Judging by the stats, it’s unlikely to see drastic changes in the number of traditional casinos. Yet, more and more states are seeing the exponential profitability of casinos.
The development should pave the way for more online and traditional gambling opportunities that use cryptocurrencies, including blockchain casinos that rely on BTC, DOGE, and others.
