\"\"<\/a>The American Gaming Association recent \u201cState of the States\u201d survey for the US gambling industry has found some very good news for the industry.<\/p>\n

In 2012 the gambling industry saw revenues climb to $37.3 billion that is a 4.8% increase from 2011.<\/p>\n

The good news is that the growth rate is the largest since the recession swept through the industry in 2008.<\/p>\n

The survey which is a national snapshot of the casino industry based on economic data and public opinion, targeted 22 states with commercial casinos.<\/p>\n

Frank J. Fahrenkopf, the AGA\u2019s outgoing president and CEO, said this year\u2019s data is a major bright spot in an industry marred by a recession that hemorrhaged workers and construction projects through the recession.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter three years of increasing growth and positive signs in all sectors of the industry, it\u2019s clear we\u2019ve weathered the recession,\u201d Fahrenkopf said in a statement. \u201cWhether we look at jobs, casino visitors served or tax revenues being provided, the bottom line is that there is much to be optimistic about in the commercial casino industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gamblers in Nevada spent $10.86 billion in 2012, that is a 1.5% increase from 2011 figures, when they spent $10.7 billion.<\/p>\n

Of the 22 surveyed states with casinos, 15 saw an upward swing in revenues between 2011 and 2012.<\/p>\n

However revenues in New Jersey saw a drop from $3.32 billion to $3.05 billion.<\/p>\n

The casino industry last year paid in to the tax man $8.6 billion that is up 8.5% from 2011.<\/p>\n

The AGA survey says 34% of Americans visited casinos last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
