Casinos won about $3.7 billion of that, or about 14.3% of the total wagering. And blackjack takes the top spot in wagering, too: casinos took $7.3 billion in wagers last year.Īccording to statewide data from the Nevada Gaming Control Board, $25.8 billion was wagered on table games on the Las Vegas Strip in 2022. There were more than a thousand active blackjack tables per month on the Las Vegas Strip last year, according to data from the GCB. Lawton said there’s one game that shows up most: “When you walk in the casino, you’re going to see those blackjack tables.” In 2022, there were 2,678 table games on the Strip per month on average. That’s because a casino is licensed quarterly for a certain number of table games, but may not utilize all of them each month. Michael Lawton, the senior economic analyst for the Nevada Gaming Control Board, said popularity is best captured by the number of units, or tables with each game, reported. So which games are most popular amongst Las Vegas Strip players? Table games draw players in with their communal energy, potentially big payouts - and maybe even the feeling of dice or cards in your hands. Walk into a casino on a busy night and it can seem like there’s a lot of action in the pit.
