National Indian Gaming Commission reports record full-year gaming revenue
Gross gaming revenue was up 4.6 per cent in year-on-year terms.
US.- The National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) has announced that members’ gross gaming revenues (GGR) for fiscal year 2024 reached $43.9bn. The figure surpasses the high reported for 2023 by 4.6 per cent.
GGR is calculated from the audited financial statements of 532 gaming operations owned by 243 federally recognised tribes in 29 US states. Oklahoma City and Washington DC saw double-digit growth
NIGC acting chairwoman Sharon Avery said: “This year’s GGR reflects not only the resilience of the tribal gaming industry, but also the dedication of tribal leadership in preserving and growing this important economic driver for their communities. The continued success of Indian gaming is a testament to the strong tribal governance and the sound regulation that protects the integrity of the industry.”
Vice chair Jeannie Hovland added: “These revenue numbers demonstrate the positive impacts of tribal gaming and the essential role it plays supporting tribal sovereignty, job growth, infrastructure, education, and important social, health, and welfare programs in tribal communities – just to name a few. NIGC remains committed to working with Tribes and their regulators to ensure the long-term integrity and success of Indian gaming.”
