The National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) has released its financial report for the year 2018. The gross gaming revenue (GGR) from the fiscal year 2018 totalled US$33.7 billion, represents a 4.1% increase over the previous fiscal year.
NIGC said that all of its administrative regions experienced positive revenue growth in fiscal 2018. The Portland Region featured the highest growth with an 8.2% increase and the Oklahoma City region registered a 7.3% growth.
“These numbers reaffirm the industry’s health as a stable economic driver for Indian Country,” NIGC Vice Chair Kathryn Isom-Clause said.
“The annual GGR tells a positive story about Indian gaming’s economic success and the industry’s ongoing contribution to a strong economy. It also tells the story of how collaboration among tribes, industry and the regulatory communities can build a strong reputation for reliability and integrity in the GGR calculation,” Commissioner Simermeyer said.
