Las Vegas casinos gaming revenue was a cool $949 million during June, 2008. Year to date total was a 1.1 percent deficit for Nevada casinos.

Northern Nevada gaming revenue had a horrible decline of 19 percent to $75.3 million. Washoe County posted 12 consecutive months of decline for Reno casinos.
Downtown Las Vegas and Boulder Strip casinos posted a gambling win for June up 10 and 25 percent, respectively. Possibly due to slot machine revenues posted a month later than expected.
