US GGR has another record quarter

Gaming revenue in the US reached an all-time high in the third quarter, reports the American Gaming Association, topping $15bn for the first time.

Despite a recession, consumer spending on gaming entertainment was “resilient” said the AGA, keeping the industry on course for a second consecutive record-breaking year.

The data comes from traditional casino games, sports betting and igaming, that combined to see revenue of $15.17bn in the quarter, up two per cent on the record figure set in the second quarter of this year.

All sectors contributed, with casino gaming reaching $12.27bn and sports betting $1.68bn, while igaming figures were $1.21bn.
