Online poker in Nevada generated $926,000 in revenue during the month of March, according to a report released Tuesday by the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
The revenue figures represent a 12.38% increase over the $824,000 in revenue reported in February, but the increase is due in large part to the three additional days in March.
The average daily revenue figures for March ($29,871) are only marginally higher—up 1.5%—than those in February ($29,429).
Online poker has generated a total of $9.45 million in revenue fro Nevada operators since Ultimate Poker became the first US regulated online poker room to launch exactly one year ago.
Since then, only two additional operators have gone live. WSOP.com launched in September and quickly became the market leader in cash game traffic while Real Gaming launched in February but issues with its software have prevented it from gaining any traction among online poker players in the state.
The state of Nevada does not break out revenue by operator, making it impossible to discern a market leader based on revenue.
Nevada online poker revenue figures register in between those of New Jersey, which posted $3.2 million in revenue from poker in March, and Delaware, which posted a total of $84,392 from poker over the same period.
Online poker traffic traditionally falls off during the summer months, but with thousands of poker players descending on Las Vegas next month for the world’s biggest poker series, Nevada traffic and revenues numbers may buck the trend.
