South Lake Tahoe saw a sharp recovery, increasing 21.5% to $37.7m, while Carson Valley posted $12.4m, up 8.9%.

Mesquite also grew 9.9% to $15.1m, while Elko County slipped 0.8% to $32.4m.

The August increase followed a 4% gain in July and comes after June and May both delivered billion-dollar results that highlighted the state's reliance on baccarat to support growth.
