Americans Break Record for Money Won in Single Year—$44 Billion, Gaming Industry Says

American casinos won more money in 2021 than ever before.

The American Gaming Association (AGA) said that casinos in the U.S. generated $44.15 billion in earnings, surpassing the previous record of $43.65 billion from 2019. The findings are based on reports from October and some from last month, as not every state has released its November earnings.

"With brick-and-mortar gaming setting records, the expansion into new verticals, and domestic and international tourism recovering, the industry is in a strong position for a full recovery," said AGA President and CEO Bill Miller in a statement.
