美国 - 北美商业游戏营收创下历史新高
By 菲尔 - 12五月2021
US commercial gaming revenue topped $11bn in the first quarter of 2021, matching the third quarter of 2019 as the industry’s highest-grossing quarter ever, according to the American Gaming Association’s Commercial Gaming Revenue Tracker.
The revenue total marks a 4.1 per cent increase over the industry’s pre-pandemic performance in Q1 2019 and is a 17.7 per cent increase over the first quarter of 2020, when the entire gaming industry shut down in March due to COVID-19.
Commercial gaming’s strong Q1 revenue numbers signify an accelerating recovery for the industry, with Q1 2021 revenue up 21.1 per cent over Q4 2020. Gains in gaming revenue were largely driven by the industry’s performance in March, the highest-grossing revenue month in history for US commercial gaming.
超过一半拥有商业赌场的州的季度博彩收入较 1 年第一季度有所增长，其中几个州报告季度博彩收入创历史新高。
AGA 总裁兼首席执行官比尔·米勒 (Bill Miller) 表示：“今天的报告显示游戏行业的复苏提前了。” “在 COVID-19 大流行期间，我们的行业面临着众多挑战，同时仍然负责任地重新开放，并为客户提供一个安全、令人兴奋的环境。”
Despite significant COVID-mandated restrictions on casino capacity and amenities across the country, traditional brick-and-mortar casino games generated 90 percent of their Q1 2019 revenue, with March 2021 revenue for slots and table games coming within one percent of March 2019 totals.
Sports betting revenue for Q1 2021 saw a quarterly US record of $961m, up 270 per cent over Q1 2020 and surpassing 2019’s full-year total of $909m. Boosted by the January launch of online casinos in Michigan, iGaming generated $784m nationwide in Q1 2021, more than tripling US iGaming revenue from Q1 2020.
米勒表示：“由于全国范围内的容量和设施限制仍然存在，博彩业正在用一只手绑在背后，取得这些令人印象深刻的成果。” “这证明了博彩业为确保我们团队成员的安全和福祉所做的努力，使我们能够安全地重新开放。我们对客户采用了同样的标准，我们负责任的行业满足了他们明显被压抑的需求。”
