Carson Valley, which includes Douglas casinos outside of Lake Tahoe and Carson City's casinos showed a 7.3 percent decrease over last year. The two jurisdictions' casinos took in $9.26 million, slightly less than the $9.99 million from last year. Carson Valley and Carson City casinos did show a $1.14 million increase over September.

Statewide, the gaming win was down 10.58 percent.
