Gaming revenue at Indian gaming facilities nationwide grew 2014 was the fifth consecutive year of growth for Indian gaming.
The growth rate of non-gaming revenue at Indian gaming facilities (five per cent) was more double that of gaming revenue. There was a wide disparity in performance within Indian gaming.
Gaming revenue grew in 20 states, including double-digit growth in three states, and declined in eight states.
The top two states generated approximately 39 per cent of total gaming revenue at Indian gaming facilities; the top five states generated about 62 per cent; and the top 10 states generated 85 per cent.
Indian gaming facilities, including non-gaming operations, directly and indirectly generated approximately $95bn in output, 738,000 jobs, $32.6bn in wages, $1.7bn in federal, state, and local taxes, and $8bn in direct revenue sharing payments to federal, state, and local governments.
