Arizona Tribal Casino Revenues Up 14 Percent Year Over
Arizona's fifteen gaming tribes, including the Tohono O'odham Nation and the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, saw annual cash flow totaling nearly $1.6 billion in 2005, ranking the state number three in the nation for casino cash flow, according to a casino gambling industry report.
In 2005, Arizona saw 14 percent more revenue than in 2004, according to the 2006-07 Indian Gaming Industry Report, released Wednesday by economist Alan Meister of Analysis Group Inc.
That 14% growth rate, however, is down from a previous 18 percent rate in 2004, though "it was easily enough to maintain Arizona's position as the third largest Indian gaming state," the report said.
Among the three states ranked in the report, California was No.1, pulling in $7.2 billion in 2005, up 24 percent. Connecticut ranked second with $2.3 billion, up 4 percent from the previous year.
