在百家乐的强势支持下，拉斯维加斯的博彩业在2011年11月份盈利达到495.2万美元，与去年同期相比增幅达到9%。这是博彩业连续第二个月报出的好成绩，10月份的成绩是同比增长13.2%。
据内华达州博彩管制局今日公布数据：州博彩业盈利8801万美元，同比增长7%。这个数字是自2010年11月份实现同比增长4.1%之后一年来最为可观的增长。
博彩管制局高级研究分析师迈克尔.劳顿表示：老鹰乐队演唱会、帕奎奥的世界拳王争霸卫冕赛和世界扑克冠军联赛等一系列特别活动极大地刺激了博彩业。
2011年前11个月的盈利同比增长5.2%。除北拉斯维加斯下降4.7%和劳克林下降1.8%外，克拉克各地博彩业均为盈利，平均增长为8.7%：博尔德是全州盈利增长最高的，达到12.4%，拉斯维加斯增长7.2%，梅斯基特增长4.1%。劳顿表示更多的赌注被押在百家乐上了。百家乐的盈利达到8900万美元，增长了29.3%，赌场在百家乐上的利润率也从去年的12.1%增长到13.6%。令人惊讶的黑马轮盘赌，盈利2540万美元，增长达到54.8%。其它方面：二十一点盈利减少4%、掷骰子盈利增长5.1%、体彩盈利增长19%、老虎机盈利增长2.9%。
劳顿说体彩同比大幅增长一方面是因为足球博彩月的刺激，另一方面是因为2010年10月本身是一个跌幅月份。管制局数据显示其它地区为：瓦肖增长1.9%、卡森增长1.1%、埃尔克增长8.4%，滑雪圣地太浩湖南岸的旅游旺季因降雪少而受到很大影响致使盈利下降6.9%。

Strip casinos post 9 percent gain in gaming win
Buoyed by strong play in baccarat, casinos along the Las Vegas Strip won $495.2 million in November, a 9 percent gain from a year ago.
It was the second straight month the Strip has enjoyed good numbers, as the October win registered a 13.2 percent increase.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board reported today that statewide, casinos won $880.1 million, a 7 percent gain. The increase was especially healthy compared to figures from a year earlier, when gaming win fell 5.8 statewide and 4.1 percent on the Strip during November 2010.
Michael Lawton, senior research analyst for the board, said special events helped the Strip register the gain. Among events that attracted traffic to casinos were an Eagles concert, a Manny Pacquiao title fight and the World Series of Poker.
The win for the first 11 months last year was up 5.2 percent at Strip casinos.
Meanwhile, all other gaming areas in Clark County posted increased win except North Las Vegas and Laughlin.
Properties on the Boulder Strip registered a 12.4 percent increased win, the highest percentage gain in any area in the state. Winnings in downtown Las Vegas casinos rose 7.2 percent, while Mesquite was up 4.1 percent and the balance of Clark County rose 8.7 percent.
Gaming was off 4.7 percent in North Las Vegas and 1.8 percent in Laughlin.
The win in baccarat on the Strip reached $89 million, a jump of 29.3 percent. Lawton said there was more wagering in baccarat, and the casinos’ “hold” percent rose to 13.6 compared to 12.1 percent of a year ago.
One surprise was in roulette, where casinos won $25.4 million, an increase of 54.8 percent on the Strip. Winnings from blackjack fell 4 percent, craps increased 5.1 percent, sports betting was up 19 percent and slots increased 2.9 percent.
Lawton said the sports book win increase was due to a strong football betting month, with a 192 percent increase. But that large increase was due to a decline in November 2010.
The board reported gaming win rose 1.9 percent in Washoe County and declined 6.9 percent at South Lake Tahoe. Win was up 1.1 percent in Carson City and up 8.4 percent in Elko County.
The lack of snow prevented the skiing season from getting off at South Lake Tahoe and cut the tourist trade.
