02:06 PM EDT, 05/29/2024 (MT Newswires) -- The Nevada Gaming Control Board said Wednesday that statewide gaming win in April totaled $1.24 billion, a nearly 7% increase from a year earlier.

Gaming revenue increased 8.5% in Clark County and soared nearly 32% in South Lake Tahoe, but saw declines in Washoe County, Elko County, Carson Valley and other areas, the state agency said.

"April traditionally is not the strongest month for gaming revenue and although this is our lowest win total this calendar year, it does represent an all-time record for the month," Las Vegas Review-Journal quoted Control Board's senior economic analyst Michael Lawton as saying.
