The state Gaming Control Board reports the 41 casinos on the Strip won $441.3 million, computed before expenses and taxes. And over the past 12 months, the gaming win has been down 15.1 percent.

North Las Vegas and Boulder Strip casinos in Clark County produced an increase in the state in the year-to-year comparison.

The board said casinos statewide won $859.4 million, down 14 percent from April 2008.

Frank Streshley, chief of tax and licensing for the board, said players were luckier this year on the table games. If the casinos had held the same amount as April 2008, they would have collected $66 million more.
