Nevada’s casino gaming win increased by double-digit percentages again in February, marking two years in which state gaming operations collected more than $1 billion a month, the Nevada Gaming Control Board reported Tuesday.

Clark County casinos alone surpassed $1 billion for the 10th straight month, building a streak of its own.

The Control Board reported win of $1.24 billion in February, an 11.2 percent increase from February 2022.

Of the 20 submarkets monitored by the Control Board, six — all in snow-affected Northern Nevada — had lower revenue in February than a year earlier. Washoe County, Reno, North Lake Tahoe and South Lake Tahoe were among the submarkets with declines. Sparks win was up 4.9 percent, thanks to a new casino property in the market.
