“For another year, legal commercial gaming in the United States has delivered exceptional results for consumers, operators, and the communities we serve,” said Bill Miller, President and CEO of the American Gaming Association. “These record revenues and tax contributions demonstrate the broad appeal of regulated gaming markets and why strong state oversight remains essential as our industry evolves.”
