The win was reported off 28.9 percent for the month of August compared to the same month a year ago.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board released gaming revenues for August this morning.

According to the latest figures, Stateline casinos took in $21.9 million, nearly $9 million less than in August 2008.

Carson Valley and Carson City, which includes casinos in the capital and in Douglas County outside the Lake Tahoe basin raked in $8.66 million, a 17 percent decrease from August 2008.

Statewide, gaming officials reported a 9.32 percent decrease. Stateline's decrease was the largest percentage in the state. The casino's at the lake are the main source of Douglas County's revenue from gaming.
