A jump in winnings by Nevada casinos in June helped push statewide revenue figures up a tick, to more than $11.9 billion to end the fiscal year.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board reported total "gaming win" on Tuesday of a little more than $1 billion last month, up nearly 11.6% compared with June 2018.
That pushed what had been a flat 12-month revenue comparison up to 0.8% from fiscal 2018.
A year ago, the state reported a 3.2% increase from fiscal 2017.
Gambling is second only to sales taxes as a percentage of the state's $14 billion annual budget.
The report says Nevada collected $55 million in percentage fee taxes based on June figures. That was up 15.9% from a year ago.
