Revenue last month amounted to $945.6 million (€876.1 million), which is also down on the €1 billion collected by Nevada casinos in January of this year.
The Las Vegas Strip was responsible for more than half of gambling revenue in February, although the $542 million generated represents a decline of almost 5% on the same month last year.
However, Nevada was able to benefit from almost $52 million in percentage fees based on taxable revenue generated in the month, up around 2.9% on February 2016.
