Nevada Slots Return-To-Player, 1/2020 to 1/2023

March 6, 2023 By Jon Friedl - Professor Slots

 

Introduction to Nevada Slots Return-To-Player

A big concern for slots enthusiasts is if casinos are trying to “get back their lost gaming revenue” by reducing their return-to-player (RTP). But is that true, state-by-state? Let’s look closely at Nevada Slots Return-To-Player for their casinos.

Nevada Slots Industry: An Overview

Nevada has many, many casinos with slot machines in Las Vegas, Reno, and other Nevada cities including border towns as tourism destinations with slot machines.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board and Nevada Gaming Commission regulates gaming in Nevada. The gaming regulations found here reflects Nevada’s global leadership role in the gaming industry. Put another way, it’s thorough and comprehensive.

Nevada Return Statistics for Slots

Nevada’s state gaming regulation 14 states the minimum theoretical payout for gaming devices “must not be less than 75% for each wager available for play on the device.”

Monthly statistics for slot machines in the form of Win% are available from the Nevada Gaming Control Board and Nevada Gaming Commission within their Statistics & Publications site under Gaming Revenue Information.

Nevada has over 300 commercial casinos, which are too many to mention here. A complete list can be found in my Nevada Slots website article. There are also two tribal casinos in Nevada, in Laughlin and Moapa.

Otherwise, Casinos on Nevada’s borders to neighboring states provide access to Nevada gaming for nearby residents of those states including:

  • Arizona-Nevada border
    • Laughlin
    • Mesquite
  • California-Nevada border
    • Lake Tahoe
    • Primm
    • Reno
    • Verdi
  • Idaho-Nevada border
    • Jackpot
  • Utah-Nevada border
    • West Wendover

Monthly Player Win Percentages

The awesome return statistics for Nevada’s casinos go back to June 1990. I’ve plotted below the monthly player win percentages from Nevada’s average return from January 2021 to January 2023 for:

  • Downtown Las Vegas
  • Las Vegas Strip
  • Washoe County Reno Area
  • Washoe County Sparks Area
  • Elko County Wendover Area
  • Elko County Balance of County including Jackpot, Nevada.

For these three years, Reno, Sparks, and Wendover had the highest return throughout. There’s a clear drop of around one-percent player win percent for the area of Jackpot, about tied with the usual state average of 92.7%, but downtown Las Vegas and the Las Vegas Strip are tied for last place.

Notice how unsteady returns are for downtown Las Vegas over these three years, compared to some unsteadiness for the Las Vegas Strip but very little wavering for the other Nevada areas. Remember that these returns are deliberately chosen.

But apparently there is some disagreement amongst the downtown Las Vegas casinos to what is that plan. And some slight disagreement amongst the Las Vegas Strip casinos.

Reno, Sparks, and Wendover are not only in total agreement with casinos in their city, but also with each other’s cities. In other word, all three cities have decided on the same plan for player returns.

Summary of Nevada Slots Return-To-Player

Nevada’s casinos carefully manage their player win percentage. Because returns are reported to the state of Nevada, savvy slots enthusiasts can choose between state regions for a better return-to-player than the next.
