H ISTORICAL H OLD P ERCENTAGE V ARIATIONS
ANNUAL AND MONTHLY HOLD PERCENTAGES, 2004-2017
CENTER FOR GAMING RESEARCH, JULY 2017
Executive Summary
Hold percentage—the portion of money gambled that the casino retains—has a huge impact on
casino revenues. Even if handle (overall play) rises in a period, a decline in hold percentage can
mean a drop in casino revenues. Players naturally prefer a low hold percentage, which returns on
average more money to them, while casinos look to balance higher hold with the need to keep
players happy.
Looking at the eleven largest (by revenue) reporting areas in Nevada, the geographic trend is clear:
the Las Vegas Strip has a significantly higher hold than other reporting areas, followed by South
Shore Lake Tahoe and Laughlin. At the bottom of the scale, North Shore Lake Tahoe, the Boulder
Strip, and Reno have progressively lower slot holds.
Though slot hold has increased, on average, since 2004, there has been a great deal of fluctuation in
the monthly hold, and on from month to month there is little predictability about exactly which way
slot hold is trending.
