U.S. general gambling market maintains growth

The overall gambling industry in the United States just keeps on growing, with the latest figures from professional business services company RubinBrown LLP showing continued growth to a record $66.3 billion in revenues generated at over a thousand tribal and commercial land casinos operated in 39 states in 2013.

That’s an improvement of $1.06 billion over the 2012 numbers which reached $65.24 billion, continuing a steady four-year growth path despite difficult economic conditions throughout the nation.

Maryland, Ohio, Main and Florida are noted in the RubinBrown study as achieving the most expansion over the last 24 months.

The study mentions the development of legalised online gambling in the US as a sector with insignificant revenues at present in comparison to the land gambling scene, but notes that the genre has the potential to generate further expansion.
