Gaming revenue is intended to be an all-encompassing term for the various definitions of gaming proceeds as defined by the individual regulatory authorities (e.g. AGR, AGP and Net Win) and should not be interpreted to equal the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants definition of revenue.
Commercial gaming encompasses traditional brick-and-mortar casinos, racinos and slot parlors regulated by state gaming boards or state lotteries. Within this segment, the revenues reported include amounts generated from gaming machines, table games, poker and sport books. The source has excluded revenues from pari-mutual racing activities.
