RubinBrown Gaming Stats 2012

Table Game Hold Percentages Within each state, overall table hold percentages remained relatively consistent between years; however, there was a wide range of percentages between states. Interestingly, the two states with the highest number of tables, Nevada (5,901 tables) and New Jersey (1,276 table) had the two lowest average table hold percentages, 13.2% and 15.2% respectively. In contrast to Nevada and New Jersey, Colorado has the highest hold percentage (24.3%), providing the patron with the most unfavorable payout. It is also noteworthy that Colorado is the only state with limited stakes gaming, capping a patron’s maximum wager at $100. While there are many factors that impact the differences in hold percentages between states, a primary cause for the variety is the popularity of games. The three most favorable games to a patron, Blackjack, Craps, and Baccarat, comprise 82% of Nevada’s total table game drop (excluding player banked poker games). Meanwhile, in the states with the three highest hold percentages, Colorado, Mississippi, and Iowa, the three games providing patron’s with the best odds only comprise 67 – 77% of the total drop.
