RubinBrown Gaming Stats 2012

Electronic Gaming Device Hold Percentages Overall hold percentages remained relatively consistent between years. Of the states included in the analysis, only ten states provided hold percentage information and six of those states had hold percentages of approximately 9.0%. Nevada had the lowest hold percentage of 6.3% followed by Colorado at 6.9%. Casinos in both of these states face significant competition, which has effectively driven down the hold percentages in the patrons’ favor. While properties in Colorado and Nevada have lowered their hold percentages from increased competition, casinos in South Dakota have been able to maintain a hold percentage of approximately 9.0%, which is one of the highest in the country. In comparing the hold percentages to effective tax rates, a direct correlation could not be established. Of the states examined, Pennsylvania has the highest EGD tax rate (55%), but the fourth lowest hold percentage (7.9%), which was 1.3 percentage points below the highest hold percentage (9.2%). Conversely, New Jersey has one of the lowest tax rates (8.0%), but one of the highest hold percentages (9.1%).
