Nevada Scores Record Year

While gambling profits dropped in Atlantic City in the last fiscal year, Nevada casinos posted record numbers. Nevada marked a record fiscal year for the 12 months ended June 30, winning $12.7 billion from gamblers, up almost 5 percent from the previous 12-month period.

Casinos on the Las Vegas Strip saw the biggest increases up over six percent for the year. It seems that all of the competition from expanded casino gambling throughout the United States has had little effect on the "Gambling Capital of the World."
