In this week’s news from the gambling industry, casino games and slots are helping break records not only in Las Vegas, but all across America! Slot machines and online slots are helping the gaming business recover from the pandemic quickly! Plus, we help wish a happy birthday to one Vegas casino group!
Gambling in Nevada won $1.23 billion in the month of May, shattering the previous record of $1.17 billion. So I guess you can honestly say Sin City has made a full recovery from the pandemic. But setting records was not exclusive to casino games or Las Vegas! US casinos in Mississippi are also up over 20% bringing in over a billion dollars for that state as well. Officials in Mississippi credit post pandemic tourism. And even though Louisiana is still under some COVID restrictions, casinos in New Orleans were able to bring in nearly $60 million! Plus, sports betting is set to launch in that state as early as October. So things are looking up!
This week’s game review is for the Diamondz online slot (that’s Diamondz with a “Z”) from our friends at Synot Gaming. This is a 5 reel, 3 row game with 20 pay lines that comes with a bonus round and bonus spins, both wild and scatter symbols, and a gamble feature! You can find this game review and hundreds more when you visit our YouTube channel.
And finally this week I would like to wish some US casinos a happy birthday! Station Casinos are celebrating their 45th year in Las Vegas, and if they’re anything like most 45 year olds they’re going to buy a Porsche, get some hair plugs, and start dating a 23 year old coed named Bambi… I’m not criticizing just pointing out the obvious.
