February 2023: December-2022 capped another record year.
This report is written by Ken Adams.

December capped off 2022 in style. By the end of November, the national GGR had already surpassed all of 2021 by 3.6%. December was the frosting on that cake. In December, a total of $5.635 billion was generated nationally, up 7.4% from December 2021. Casino revenue for the month ran a close parallel to the previous year, but sports and igaming combined for over $1.2 billion in the month, up 76% from December 2021.

Nebraska and Virginia are new to the chart in December. The December numbers do not include Kentucky historic racing machines, West Virginia casinos, and sports GGR from Arizona and Illinois. The only wrinkle in December was the airline debacle of Christmas week. Even with the wrinkle, the month was a perfect ending to a marvelous year. The total gaming revenue generated in 2022 was a staggering $60 billion, up from $53 billion in 2021 and up $44 billion 2019. In 2019 the industry set an all-time record; that was before igaming and sports betting. The industry has come a long way from those days.
