For the first time in the history of the American Gaming Association’s (AGA) polling, results suggest that more than half of all American adults — an estimated 134 million, extrapolated from polling of 2,001 registered voters aged 21 or over — visited a casino in the past year.

That was among the top-line takeaways from the “American Attitudes Towards Gaming” report released Thursday afternoon by the AGA.

Casino visitation, which does not necessarily involve gambling, had understandably dipped below 30% of poll respondents in the COVID-impacted 2020 and 2021, but the number has risen four years straight, reaching a new high this year at 52.7%.
