South Shore casinos have a good month in November; Win figure up 17%

The Nevada Gaming Control Board released their gaming revenue figures Wednesday, and revenue for casinos on the South Shore experienced the biggest gain they've seen in months.

Net revenue for local casinos is up 17.26% when compared to figures from November, 2014, leaving their fiscal year total still down. Local casinos figures are 11.38% lower than the same period last year.

In the state of Nevada, casinos as a whole experienced a net gain of 7.76%, leaving the fiscal year totals almost even with the the prior year.

The biggest "winner" were the downtown Las Vegas casinos who saw a gain in their net win by 25.24%. North Lake Tahoe casinos remained close to 2014 with a gain of .048%.

The gaming win represents the computed income of casinos before business expenses and taxes.
