US gaming executives remain optimistic about the future of the industry, despite growing concerns about the rapid expansion of prediction markets, according to a survey by the American Gaming Association.

Key findings included that more than 60% of senior-level industry executives expect revenue growth, stronger financial performance, and increased investment activity over the next year.

Additionally, the Gaming Conditions Index, which measures economic activity across gaming revenue, employment, wages, executive sentiment, and casino hotel activity, recorded a 1.5% year-on-year increase.

“The legal state- and tribal-regulated gaming industry continues to demonstrate resilience and adaptability in a dynamic economic environment,” said American Gaming Association President and Chief Executive Bill Miller.
