The American Gaming Association (AGA), the leading employer in the United States' gaming industry, has published a 2019 study that reveals that 49 percent of American adults have a favorable view of the casino gaming industry, a figure higher than the one obtained in 2018.
Thus, the study has determined that Americans consider the gaming industry as helping local economies and creating jobs, but more than ever they also see the industry as helping the communities where it operates.
Here are some key facts about it:
- 71% of Americans say that casinos create jobs
- 57% of Americans say that casinos help local economies
- 49% of Americans say that casinos help the communities where they are located
According to the AGA, the increase in this positive perception coincides with a surge in casino visitation and a widespread perception that the industry provides innovative, high-quality types of entertainment.
The number of American adults who visited a casino in 2019 increased to 44 percent, which means up nine percentage points in 2018. Furthermore, this trend seems to continue, as almost 124 million American adults —49 percent of the population adult from United States - say they will visit a casino to gamble over the next 12 months, up 20 million from 2018.
On the other hand, two-in-three Americans (67%) think the gaming industry provides high-quality entertainment and 63 percent say casino entertainment options are innovative.
