Harrah's Gambling Report: U.S. Casino Visitation

U.S. Casino Visitation

Casino gambling is a very popular entertainment for U.S. adults.
More than 25% of Americans age 21 and older gambled at a
casino at least once during 2005, and Americans made more than
320 million total visits to casinos. Adults with annual household
incomes exceeding $95,000 are the most likely to visit a casino.
This group has a casino gambling participation rate that is 55%
higher than that of the lowest income bracket. The national casino
gambling participation rate has remained statistically unchanged
since 2002.

Residents of the West continue to be the most likely to include
gambling in their leisure activities, although participation rates in
the North Central and North East, where almost every state has
some form of commercial or Indian gaming, are not far behind.
Casino entertainment is a popular social activity across all adult age
groups, and those whose lifestages allow more time for activities
outside the home, such as empty nesters, are more likely to
participate in casino gambling.
