The return statistics provided by the state of Nevada are a percentage of how much a casino has won. To determine how much players won, subtract the Win% provided from 100%.

For downtown Las Vegas, the percentage won by players in February 2020 by slot machine denomination (see page 8 of the report) was:

• 1-cent or penny slots: 100% minus 9.35% equals 90.65%
• 5-cent or nickel slots: 100% minus 4.17% equals 95.83%
• 25-cent or quarter slots: 100% minus 5.27% equals 94.73%
• 1-dollar: 100% minus 5.94% equals 94.06%
• 5-dollar: 100% minus 6.05% equals 93.95%
• Multi-denominational: 100% minus 4.88% equals 95.12%

Based on these February 2020 return statistics, the highest return in downtown Las Vegas went to 5-cent denomination slot machines at a player win percentage of 95.83% closely followed by multi-denominational machines at 95.12%.

The lowest return went to penny slot machines at 90.65%. Overall for downtown Las Vegas, the return for all slot machines was 93.28%

As a comparison, let’s examine return statistics for the Las Vegas Strip. Also for February 2020 (see page 12 of the report), these were:

• Penny slots: 89.09%
• Nickel slots: 90.95%
• Quarter slots: 89.36%
• 1-dollar: 91.38%
• 5-dollar: 94.26%
• 25-dollar: 93.94%
• 100-dollar: 91.10%
• Multi-denominational: 93.57%

Based on these February 2020 return statistics, the highest return in the Las Vegas Strip went to 5-dollar denomination slot machines at a player win% of 94.26% closely followed by 25-dollar machines at 93.94%.

The lowest return went to penny slot machines at 89.09% which was 1.56% less than downtown Las Vegas. Overall for the Las Vegas Strip, the return for all slot machines was 91.86% or 1.42% lower than downtown Las Vegas.

Summary of Nevada Slot Machine Casino Gambling in 2020

Nevada slot machine casino gambling consists of 163 casinos. Of these, 66 are in Las Vegas including 24 casinos on the Las Vegas Strip. The remainder, including two tribal casinos, are located throughout the state.

The minimum payout limit for slot machines in Nevada is 75% per gaming device. Return statistics are comprehensive and available online.

Annual Progress in Nevada Slot Machine Casino Gambling

In the last year, Resorts World Las Vegas has had its opening delayed to the end of 2020. Once opened, it’s expected to be the largest casino in Nevada.

Given the vitality of the gaming industry in Nevada, it is challenging to keep an updated and accurate list of every open casino as well as their current names and owners.

Also, all Megabucks slot machines were removed from every casino located in downtown Las Vegas as well as the Las Vegas Strip.
