U.S Casino Revenue Surpasses $40B for First Time

U.S Casino Revenue Surpasses $40B for First Time

The American Gaming Association released an annual report on the commercial casino industry State of the States: The AGA Survey of the Commercial Casino Industry.

The annual report gives an analysis of the commercial casino industry and the economic influence it has in the 24 U.S. states with commercial gaming operations.

According to the report, gross gaming revenue in the United States increased 3.4% to $40.28B last year.

The state with the largest growth in revenue in 2017 was Maryland (+34.2% Y/Y) followed by New York (+16%), Oklahoma (+10%), Kansas (+7%) and Massachusetts (+6.3%). In Nevada commercial casino revenue also rose 2.8%.

The most significant drop in revenue in 2017 reported in West Virginia (–4.6%) due to competition from neighboring states.

According to AGA report: "Commercial casino operators were not the only beneficiaries of industry growth. America’s 460 commercial casino locations generated some $9.23 billion in direct gaming tax revenue in 2017. The $9.23 billion tax revenue figure represents an increase of 3.1 percent over 2016. It does not represent tax revenue generated by activities other than direct gaming, including income, payroll, sales or various other corporate taxes”.

Blaize Holdings, Inc. (BZAI) focuses on artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled edge computing solutions, offering programmable AI processors and platforms for verticals such as smart cities, defense, retail, and enterprise markets. The company's core revolves around hardware like the Graph Streaming Processor (GSP) AI accelerator, compute cards, and software tools including Blaize AI Studio—a no-code/low-code environment for deploying AI models without source code expertise. Based in El Dorado Hills, California, and founded in 2010, it went public through a merger in early 2025.
Comstock Holding Companies, Inc. (CHCI) operates as an asset manager, developer, and operator of mixed-use and transit-oriented properties, mainly in the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The company targets high-growth urban and suburban markets, overseeing a portfolio that spans residential, commercial, hospitality, and parking assets near key metro stations. Its asset-light, fee-based model delivers recurring revenue through property management, leasing, development services, and asset recapitalization for institutional investors, family offices, and governments.
ARM stock surged +26% over the past 30 days, driven by announcements of in-house chip production and strong analyst upgrades amid AI enthusiasm. Over the past quarter, the stock climbed +38%, reflecting robust Q3 earnings beat with 26% revenue growth and data center royalty doubling.
Sable Offshore Corp. (SOC) is an independent oil and gas company focused on offshore operations in federal waters off California. The company owns and operates three platforms in the Santa Ynez Unit (SYU), spanning 16 federal leases across approximately 76,000 acres, along with subsea pipelines for crude oil, natural gas, and produced water transport to onshore facilities. Its core business model centers on restarting and developing prolific fields like the SYU, which had been idle due to regulatory and legal hurdles following a 2015 pipeline spill.
I've always been impressed by how Visa (V) commands the global payments landscape. As an open-loop network, it connects issuers, acquirers, merchants, and consumers without issuing cards or extending credit itself. The VisaNet platform processes over 65,000 transactions per second across more than 200 countries, supporting a ~52% share of the global credit card market and ~60% of debit. This scale generates powerful network effects, where greater adoption benefits everyone involved and creates formidable barriers to entry.
Following the Kenvue consumer health spin-off, Johnson & Johnson has transformed into a focused healthcare leader, emphasizing Innovative Medicine (pharmaceuticals) and MedTech (devices). In my view, this repositioning sharpens the company's edge in high-margin areas such as oncology, immunology, neuroscience, cardiovascular, surgery, and vision, where its diversified portfolio and R&D efficiency provide clear competitive advantages.
I've long appreciated ASML Holding N.V.'s dominant position in the semiconductor lithography market. The company commands over 90% share in advanced deep ultraviolet (DUV) immersion systems and 100% in EUV lithography—the critical technology for chips below 7nm nodes used in AI, high-performance computing, and memory. This near-monopoly comes from decades of R&D investment, exclusive partnerships like Zeiss for optics, and a vast installed base that generates steady service revenue. From what I see, competitors such as Nikon and Canon remain far behind in EUV, sticking to mature nodes.
I've been watching Micron Technology (MU) closely through its recent volatility, which mirrors the semiconductor sector's heightened sensitivity to AI demand and supply constraints. The stock saw a sharp post-earnings sell-off tied to elevated capital expenditure plans, yet it has rebounded with surging DRAM prices—up 90-95%—and memory suppliers booked out for years. From what I see, broader tech optimism, including key partnerships and persistent supply tightness, is driving upward momentum. This positions MU as a pivotal player in high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for data centers. Trading near recent highs around $368, the shares highlight investor focus on Micron's critical role in the AI infrastructure expansion under these constrained industry conditions.
I've always appreciated how Mastercard (MA) maintains a commanding position in the global payments industry, processing transactions across 3.4 billion cards at 150 million merchant locations worldwide. The network effects here create a formidable moat—increased adoption by issuers, acquirers, and consumers just reinforces its dominance. What stands out to me is how Mastercard is evolving beyond a pure processor into a services-first platform. Value-added services (VAS)—covering cybersecurity, data analytics, and consulting—are now approaching 40% of revenues and growing at double the rate of traditional payments.
MU shares are declining approximately -6.00% in premarket trading on April 2, 2026, pulling back to roughly $353.70 from the prior session's close of $376.27. The primary catalyst is a sweeping new round of tariff announcements from the Trump administration, dubbed by markets as "Liberation Day 2.0," which has sparked a broad risk-off selloff across technology and semiconductor stocks
Shares of Robinhood Markets are down approximately 6.15% in Thursday's intraday session, trading around $65.80 after closing at $70.11 on April 1, 2026. Wolfe Research delivered a sharp blow by cutting its price target on HOOD by 30%, citing persistent weakness in crypto trading volumes as a core drag on revenue.
Shares of Iridium Communications (IRDM) surged approximately +11.00% in Thursday's session, rising from a prior close of $28.52 to an intraday high near $31.76. A broad-based equity market rally drove significant gains across communication and satellite sector stocks, as investor sentiment sharply reversed after days of macro-driven selling pressure tied to tariff fears.

Based in Miami Beach, Florida, and founded in 2012, AIRS operates centers across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
ASRT stock surged +66% over the past 30 days, driven by strong Q4 2025 earnings beat and optimistic 2026 guidance highlighting Rolvedon growth. Over the past quarter, the stock rose +117%, fueled by improving gross margins, stable product demand, and analyst price target increases.
I've been following Advantage Solutions Inc. (ADV)closely as a key player in outsourced sales, marketing, merchandising, sampling, and retailer support services for consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturers and retailers across North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe. The company operates through three segments: Branded Services, Experiential Services, and Retailer Services. Its focus remains on optimizing in-store execution, boosting consumer engagement, and strengthening retail partnerships.
NCS Multistage Holdings, Inc. (NCSM) stands out as a leading provider of highly engineered products and support services that optimize oil and natural gas well construction, completions, and field development strategies. The company operates primarily in the United States, Canada, and internationally, with a focus on fracturing systems, enhanced oil recovery, well construction products, and tracer diagnostics.
MGNX stock surged +53% over the last 30 days, driven primarily by a positive Q4 earnings surprise and analyst upgrades. Over the past quarter, the stock rose +80%, reflecting recovery from early-year lows amid biotech sector volatility.
PENG shares are surging approximately +16% in today's session, trading around $20.42, up from a prior close of $17.60 The primary catalyst is a Q2 fiscal 2026 earnings beat, with non-GAAP EPS of $0.52 surpassing the consensus estimate of $0.43 — a ~21% upside earnings surprise.
CareCloud, Inc. (CCLD) delivers cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions, revenue cycle management (RCM), and electronic health records (EHR) tailored for medical practices. The company's model centers on subscription platforms that handle practice management, patient engagement, and billing, with AI-driven tools adding efficiency.
Intellicheck, Inc. (IDN) focuses on on-demand digital identity validation solutions tailored for know your customer (KYC), fraud prevention, and age verification across North America. The company's business centers on software-as-a-service (SaaS) products such as IDN-Mobile, IDN-Portal, and IDN-Direct, which verify both digital and physical identities for industries like financial services, fintech, buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) providers, e-commerce, retail, and government agencies. In the competitive landscape of identity management software, Intellicheck occupies a solid niche with its reliable offerings, especially as fraud risks continue to escalate. From what I see, the recent profitability and SaaS revenue growth provide a strong foundation for the stock's performance, highlighting scalable potential in a market with clear demand.
