According to AGA research, more Americans than ever are enjoying gaming-related entertainment, and this exposure is increasing awareness of the industry’s beneficial social and economic effects.
When compared to other forms of entertainment, 90% of casino patrons stated it delivers good value for money, and nearly 89% indicated that casino gambling is innovative. According to the association, this notion still draws younger casino patrons, whose average age is still lower than it was before the pandemic.
