Wyo's Skill Game Jackpots: A Breakdown
In January, the Wyoming-based skill games raised approximately $2.34 million in earnings.
Hey there! Let's dive into the world of skill-based games in Wyoming. In January, these games raked in a total of $9.64 million, with revenues climbing a modest 6% from the previous year. However, the net proceeds took a slight dip, decreasing by 1.7% year-over-year, amounting to $2.34 million.
Interestingly, only two operators, Worrying Amusement and Wyoming Amusement Inc., managed to bag more than $400,000 in net proceeds. these two juggernauts accounted for almost 40% of the total earnings. Worrying Amusement generated over $404,000 from revenues of $1.6 million, while Wyoming Amusement Inc. collected over $428,000 from revenue of more than $1.7 million.
Other notable contenders include Jenkins Music, Entertainment Experts, Jul Box, and S & C Vending LLC, contributing $382,000, $314,000, $298,000, and $292,000 in net proceeds, respectively. No other operator managed to earn more than $100,000 in proceeds.
The state government collected a 20% tax on the net proceeds, resulting in over $468,000 in revenue for January 2025.
It seems that the city of Sheridan is shaking things up in the Wyoming gambling scene, as there are plans to relocate two gambling properties to an industrial zone.
Note: Exact figures for top-generating operators and their revenue for January 2025 couldn't be found in public data. The Wyoming Gaming Commission is currently focusing on cracking down on illegal interactive gaming (iGaming) sites rather than reporting operator revenues. State gaming reports, such as those from the American Gaming Association, do not break down revenues by operator or by skill-based games specifically for Wyoming.
The two leading operators, Worrying Amusement and Wyoming Amusement Inc., primarily operate within the industry and generate significant finance in the skill-based game sector, as they accounted for nearly 40% of the total earnings in January 2025. The state government collects a substantial portion of the finance generated from the skill-based games industry through a 20% tax on net proceeds.
