Executive Summary

Over the past thirty-five years, there has been a considerable realignment of aggregate table game mix in Nevada.

• Twenty-One (blackjack) has declined in both terms of units and revenue. In 1985, 81% of casino

games were blackjack. In 2019, just under 54% were. In 1985, the game accounted for over half of all table game revenues: in 2019, it accounted for 32% of table win.

• Craps has declined remarkably as a money-maker for casinos. In 1985, it generated nearly 27% of all table win. In 2019, it contributed a little more than 12% to total table win.

• Roulette has increased both its revenue share and unit share by about 50% • Baccarat spectacularly increased its win share starting in 2009, out earning blackjack

since 2010. Its unit share has grown proportionately with its revenue gain. Since 2013, however, it has contracted somewhat, and in 2019 its revenue is a little less than blackjack’s revenue.

• Other games, including mini-baccarat, three card poker, and pai gow poker, have increased both their revenue share and their unit share.

These changes have impacted the ways that casinos operate, and should be taken into consideration by both students of casino management and those interested in monitoring casino financial performance over both the short and long terms. The increased reliance on baccarat, a more volatile game, has led to greater variance in reported field results for both individual properties and the Strip as a whole.

Methodology

This study looks at how well various table games have fared in Nevada over the past thirty-four years. Essentially, it answers the question: how have table game pits in Nevada changed?

To do this, we first tabulated data on the total number of units and revenue for each of the casino games listed by the Nevada Gaming Control Board in its monthly Gaming Revenue Report. We also included “Other Games,” which are those with six or fewer units in the reporting area in question. While bingo, keno, the race book, and the sports book are classified as “games” by the Gaming Control Board, we did not include them in this study, since we wanted to get a clear picture of table games.

For 1992 to 2019, we used the annual totals as given in the December Gaming Revenue report for the year in question. The period 1985-1991 proved to be less straightforward: the reports in that period do not generally include annual totals, so we reconstructed the annual amounts, by using quarterly and sometimes monthly reports to build the appropriate sums (revenues) and averages (units).

Instead of including all games in the unit- and revenue-share analyses, we chose to focus on the “Big Four” casino games: twenty-one (blackjack), craps, baccarat, and roulette. All other table games are classed as “Others.” The data for all game reported by the Gaming Control Board can be found in the “Raw Data” section, which begins on page 8.

With data in hand, we created two tables: one charting the revenue share per game, the other mapping the unit share per game. These show how the percentage of money earned by each game, and the floor space devoted to each game, has changed over the past quarter century.

All interpretation of the data is ours, and though it is based on the data set, involves a degree of subjective analysis.

Unit Share

The real estate of Nevada's table gaming pits has shifted remarkably over the past thirty-five years. As the chart below demonstrates, the percentage of gaming pits devoted to blackjack has declined steadily, while that devoted to “other games” like pai gow, pai gow poker, mini baccarat, and poker-based games has increased.

Revenue Share

The amount of floor space devoted to a game, however, is only one piece of the total puzzle. Games are only as useful as the amount of revenue they produce.

For that reason, the revenue share per game, defined as the percentage of total table game revenues earned by a type of game, is a key metric in analyzing the importance of various games to overall casino performance.
