Nevada gaming revenue jumped 8.11 percent in May, which included the Strip’s largest single-month increase this year.

The Gaming Control Board said Friday casinos statewide collected $970.3 million in the month.

Strip casinos collected almost $593 million, a 17.3 percent increase compared to May 2013.

The Strip’s results helped offset monthly losses reported by casinos in other areas of Clark County, including downtown, North Las Vegas, Laughlin and the Boulder Strip.

The state’s three online poker websites collected $862,000 during May, which was an 8.8 percent increase over April’s results.

The state collected $56.2 million in gaming taxes during June, based May’s gaming revenue figures, which was a decline of 2.43 percent.
