$5,000 Welcome Bonus
Nevada has over 120,000 slot machines. The majority are in Clark County. Nonrestricted license holders generate over $9 billion in earnings from 2021 to 2022. Total amount won by casinos within this time frame is over $14.3 billion.
Pandemic had positive impact on slot gaming industry. Casinos were closed for some time after the pandemic in early 2020. Players were more open to visiting casinos once they reopened. Manufacturers were also making slot games more appealing to players. In Nevada, pent-up demand and stimulus checks resulted in more slot gameplay. The principal with Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, Todd Eiler, stated that the lack of entertainment in some locations and the federal stimulus helped to boost player spending.
There was a rise in slot gaming revenues across the US and Canada. Reeled machines did better than blackjack and roulette. Table games are still performing below pre-pandemic numbers.
