NIGC Announces Record $43.9 Billion in FY 2024 Gross Gaming Revenues

The National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) announced Gross Gaming Revenues (GGR) of $43.9 billion for fiscal year 2024. This historic figure reflects a $2.0 billion increase over FY 2023, representing an overall growth of 4.6% across the Indian gaming industry.
“This year’s GGR reflects not only the resilience of the tribal gaming industry, but also the dedication of tribal leadership in preserving and growing this important economic driver for their communities. The continued success of Indian gaming is a testament to the strong tribal governance and the sound regulation that protects the integrity of the industry,” said NIGC Acting Chairwoman Sharon Avery.
The GGR figure is calculated from independently audited financial statements from 532 independently audited gaming operations owned by 243 federally recognized tribes across 29 states. Two NIGC regions, Oklahoma City and Washington, D.C., reported double-digit growth over the previous fiscal year.
“These revenue numbers demonstrate the positive impacts of tribal gaming and the essential role it plays supporting tribal sovereignty, job growth, infrastructure, education, and important social, health, and welfare programs in tribal communities – just to name a few. NIGC remains committed to working with Tribes and their regulators to ensure the long-term integrity and success of Indian gaming,” said Vice Chair Jeannie Hovland.
