Gamblers lost $34.1 billion at US commercial casinos in 2007, according to a report by the American Gaming Association (AGA) released on Wednesday. That is up about 73 percent from the casinos' gross gaming revenue of $19.7 billion 10 years ago and a 5.3 percent increase over 2006.
The AGA said the equivalent of one quarter of the US adult population visited casinos in 2007 and made more visits to casinos than in any previous year. About 54.5 million visitors made 376 million trips to casinos last year, an average of 6.9 trips per visitor, the AGA said.
