March decline in visitation blamed on international travel drop-off
Nevada (Las Vegas) - Howard Stutz, Nevada Independent - Las Vegas visitation fell nearly 8 percent in March, and the top research analyst for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) pointed Tuesday to uncertainty brought by administration policies. Southern Nevada drew almost 3.4 million visitors during the month, down from almost 3.7 million in March 2024. For the first three months of 2025, Las Vegas visitation is down almost 7 percent compared to 2024.  Analysts attribute much of this March’s fall-off to declines in international travel. https://tinyurl.com/msznts49

Not so, an appeals court said. https://tinyurl.com/567fnu6u

Soloviev CEO pitches plan to turn everyday New Yorkers into partial owners of proposed casino
New York (Expansion) - Tara Rosenblum and Lee Danuff, News 12 - The yearslong battle for one of just three coveted downstate casino licenses in New York state is entering its final stretch. After repeated delays, the state’s Gaming Commission is now expected to open the formal application window next month. In an exclusive interview with News 12’s Senior Reporter Tara Rosenblum, Soloviev Group CEO Michael Hershman suggested a bold strategy: making community equity a cornerstone. Hershman says if the proposed Freedom Plaza casino is approved, eligible Manhattan residents could own a piece of it. https://tinyurl.com/4z4fd6hv
 
Bally’s reports a solid Q1 after an eventful start to 2025
National (Casinos) - David McKee, CDC Gaming - All significant metrics for Bally’s Entertainment’s first quarter were up, except one. That one was sufficient to swing the quarter from revenue positive to revenue negative versus the same quarter last year. Bally’s reported revenue of $589.2 million, a 4.7 percent decrease year over year. Its International Interactive division plummeted 18.3 percent to $191.7 million, on account of the divestiture of Bally’s Asian operations in 2024. Non-Asian interactive revenue, however, was up 7.7 percent. This included 4.9 percent greater online revenue in the United Kingdom and a 12.5 percent increase in North American digital proceeds to $44.5 million. https://tinyurl.com/ynm8ehnh
 
FTC’s ‘junk fee’ rules take effect on resort, ticket pricing
National (Casinos) - Richard N. Velotta, Las Vegas Review Journal - The Federal Trade Commission’s bipartisan “junk fee” rules took effect Monday giving consumers new protections against fees in short-term lodging and the live-event ticketing. While the new rules don’t prohibit hated resort fees or handling fees when buying sports or concert tickets, they order full disclosure of total pricing and prohibit bait-and-switch tactics that draw consumers in only to tack on unexpected fees that jack up the total price. “This rulemaking is one piece of a broader commission effort to combat junk fees,” FTC Commissioner Lina Khan said when the rule was approved in December. https://tinyurl.com/2mvfhp9s
 
Sega Sammy’s FY25 sales hit by decline in pachinko but new gaming segment shows promise
Asia (Japan) - Ben Blaschke, Inside Asian Gaming - The new gaming business segment of Japan’s Sega Sammy Holdings showed positive signs in its first year of operations, generating sales of JPY5.4 billion (US$36.4 million) and Adjusted EBITDA of JPY1.0 billion (US$6.7 million) for the year ended 31 March 2025. However, it was a different story for the pachinko and pachislot segment where sales fell 27% year-on-year to JPY97.1 billion (US$654 million) and Adjusted EBITDA by 46% year-on-year to JPY24.2 billion (US$163 million). Those woes in pachislot and pachinko ultimately saw group-wide sales fall by 8.5% year-on-year to JPY428.9 billion (US$2.89 billion) despite locking in some year-on-year growth in its core entertainment contents, or computer gaming, business. https://tinyurl.com/2seph6y7

GOP budget includes ‘no tax on tips’, fulfilling Trump promise, NV Democrats want more details
National (Legislation) - Gabby Birenbaum, The Nevada Independent - House Republicans’ budget mega-bill includes a provision to end the taxation on tips through the end of President Donald Trump’s term — fulfilling his campaign promise made in Las Vegas and backed by Nevada Democrats, who are still likely to oppose the budget bill for its other cuts.

U.S. commercial gaming reached another revenue record in 2024
National (Results) - Buck Wargo, CDC Gaming - U.S. commercial gaming hit a new high for the fourth year in a row, generating $72 billion in revenue, a 7.5% increase from 2023. It was fueled by igaming and mobile sports betting, according to a report released Tuesday by the American Gaming Association. Some 28 out of 38 states set new annual records. North Carolina and Vermont reported commercial gaming revenue for the first time after launching mobile sports betting.

How to play Gonzo’s Quest
Gonzo’s Quest is simple enough to play, one of the reasons for its enduring popularity. The game is set on a 5×3 grid against the backdrop of an ancient Incan city.

As you hit spin, the reels, filled with various colourful stone masks, will burst into life. Stone blocks come tumbling down and the grid refreshes, leading to new wins. Twenty fixed paylines are available, and you’ll need to land at least three of the matching masks across one of these to pick up a win.

Gonzo’s Quest™ falls in the category of medium variance game. The highest possible win in the base game is a huge 2500x your wager.

There are a total of seven different stone symbols to look out for, with each one paying out a different amount. The highest paying symbol in the game pays out a maximum of 125x your stake for five on a line.

Once you do land a win, the winning symbols will be destroyed, and new ones will fall to take their place. This avalanche reels feature is the centrepiece of Gonzo’s Quest slot, and landing avalanche wins one after the other will increase a win multiplier up to a maximum of 5x in the base game.

Players will also discover wilds and scatters, both of which can unlock big wins. Gonzo will express his appreciation of these as he dances and celebrates with the player.

How Las Vegas casinos are working to attract millennials, Generation Z
