A Record Fiscal Year
The Nevada Gaming Control Board released its full June 2026 Monthly Revenue Report on July 21, closing the fiscal year that ran July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. Statewide gaming win totaled $16.05 billion, a 2.59% gain over FY 2025 and a new all-time record.
Sports betting specifically continued to outgrow the broader casino business by a wide margin. Sportsbook win reached $612.5 million for the fiscal year, up 19.97% year over year, with mobile apps supplying the bulk of the growth. The fiscal-year mobile sports win totaled $432.9 million, a 36.41% jump.
- Statewide gaming win FY26: $16,047,447,000 (+2.59%)
- Sports pool win FY26: $612,501,000 (+19.97%)
- Mobile sports win FY26: $432,922,000 (+36.41%)
- Mobile share of total sports win: ~70.7%
Mobile Grew Even After the DK/FD Exit
The story of Nevada mobile sports betting in FY26 is remarkable: the market grew 36% year over year despite losing two of its most-marketed operators midway through the fiscal year. DraftKings and FanDuel departed Nevada in November 2025 amid the ongoing prediction-markets dispute, taking meaningful volume with them.
The remaining twelve licensed operators — anchored by BetMGM Nevada, Caesars, STN Sports, Boyd, Circa, and the Station Casinos books — absorbed that displaced action and then some. Boarding Pass Rewards from Station Casinos, M life from BetMGM, and Caesars Rewards all continued to compound as sticky loyalty programs, keeping Nevada bettors on Nevada apps rather than seeking off-shore alternatives.
Sport-by-Sport for the Full Year
Football remains the single-biggest sport for Nevada books, but hockey and basketball posted the fastest percentage growth thanks to the Golden Knights and NBA Finals runs.
- Football: $183.9M win (+26.63%), 7.28% hold
- Basketball: $166.7M win (+16.95%), 7.31% hold
- Baseball: $99.2M win (+5.24%), 7.27% hold
- Hockey: $31.6M win (+39.06%), 8.65% hold
- Sports parlay cards: $7.2M win (+182.21%)
- Other (soccer, F1, UFC, etc.): $123.8M win (+20.01%), 9.20% hold
June: A Basketball and Hockey Month
The June 2026 single-month numbers reflect the seasonal calendar exactly. Basketball drove the month with $11.1M in win, up 34.45% year over year, powered by the NBA Finals. Hockey posted $3.9M in win — a 953% surge on the back of a decisive Stanley Cup Final. Baseball, meanwhile, was down 18.37% for the month at $17.9M as regular-season action returned to modest hold levels.
Football, out of season, actually posted a net negative $1.4M for the month — sportsbooks paid out more on futures ticket cash-outs than they took in. That is normal for June and reverses hard in August as new-season lines and futures open.
- Basketball (June): $11.1M win (+34.45%)
- Hockey (June): $3.9M win (+953.66%)
- Baseball (June): $17.9M win (-18.37%)
- Football (June): -$1.4M win (offseason futures cash-outs)
- Mobile (June, all sports): $33.7M win (+12.69%)
Where the Action Landed
The Las Vegas Strip led sportsbook volume as always — Strip sports pool win in June hit $29.1M, up 42.93% year over year. Downtown Las Vegas also posted strong sportsbook numbers: $12.0M sports pool win (+46.37%), driven largely by Circa Sports at Circa Resort. Reno softened for the month (-35.73% in sports pool), while South Lake Tahoe and Boulder Strip held steady.
- LV Strip sports pool (June): $29.1M (+42.93%)
- Downtown LV sports pool (June): $12.0M (+46.37%)
- Boulder Strip sports pool (June): $1.8M (-1.44%)
- Reno sports pool (June): $1.3M (-35.73%)
- South Lake Tahoe sports pool (June): $290K (-30.79%)
What FY 2027 Sets Up
Three things to watch as the new fiscal year (starting July 1, 2026) unfolds. First, the mobile trend line: if the FY26 +36% growth rate holds into FY27, mobile alone would clear $590M in the coming year. Second, the prediction-markets legal battle: Kalshi, Coinbase, and now Polymarket are all under preliminary injunction in Nevada — resolution of those cases could shift meaningful volume back into the licensed operators. Third, the fall football calendar: the Raiders 2026 home slate at Allegiant featuring Dolphins, Chiefs, and Broncos should push another double-digit gain in the fiscal Q1 window.
