Nevada's August gambling income rises 39.7%, and slots bring in the most money overall.

 iGB looks at some of the most recent monthly state results in the US. For example, Nevada's overall gambling income fell in August because fewer people played slots, but Mississippi's retail sports betting market grew.
 Report on the Weekend in the US: The Nevada Gaming Control Board says that mobile sports betting brought in $14.8 million in Nevada in 2024, which is 13% more than the previous year.

 When it comes to sports betting, baseball brought in the most money during the month ($9.7 million), followed by American football ($8.7 million).  Hockey and basketball betting, on the other hand, both cost companies money.

 The Control Board said that $14.8 million of all wagering income came from mobile devices. Betting on other sports brought in an extra $7.6 million.

 In the meantime, sports betting pools brought in $25 million in August, which is 38.9% more than the same month last year.

 The Control Board doesn't give out information about how to handle sports bets.

 Nevada's income dropped again in August.
 The state's total gambling income dropped 3.8% from one year to the next, to $1.16bn (£869.8m/€1.04bn).  The total for August is also 7.7% less than the total for July of this year.

 The main reason for this drop was less money coming in from slots played in person.  Overall slot machine income dropped 3.8% in August, to $798.3 million.

 The one-cent, five-cent, 25-cent, one-dollar, and five-dollar slots all saw double-digit drops.  Money made from multi-denomination slots, which are the main way that gaming in the state makes money, went up 15.7% to $555 million.

 Not all of the table games did well.
 In other parts of the market, sales of table, counter, and card games, like sports and racing pools, also went down 3.8% to $365.5m.

 Blackjack brought in $105.9 million for the month, making it the most popular game in this section once again.  It's 6.9% more than it was in August of last year.

 The amount of money made from roulette went up by 22.9% to $49.0 million. Three-card poker and Ultimate Texas Hold'em also saw growth.

 But drops in other places hurt Nevada's total numbers.  Baccarat lost 34.3% of its value, or $76.3 million, and craps lost 7.8%, or $33.4 million.  Keno and Pai Gow also brought in less money than the previous year.

 In August, Mississippi's sports betting income goes up.
 In August, taxed sports betting brought in $3.2 million in Mississippi, which is not in Nevada.  This is 18.5% more than the same time last year and 68.4% more than July of this year.

 The Mississippi Gaming Commission says that people bet a total of $22.6 million during the month, which is 5.6% more than in 2023.  All together, this means that the state had a 14.1% hold.

 Again, the most money from sports betting went to casinos on the coast, with $2.1 million, which is up 31.3% year-over-year.  These casinos had more than $13.7 million in handle, which is a 15.2% hold for August.

 The casinos in Central made $566,774, which is 22.4% less than last year.  But people did bet $5.3 million on sports at these casinos, which is a 10.7% hold.

 Last but not least, northern casinos made $530,735, which is 42.8% more than the previous year.  With a handle of $3.6m, this gave the sites a 14.8% hold.
