Description: GDEN Golden Entertainment October 22, 2025

Golden Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: GDEN) is a U.S.–based operator of a diversified entertainment platform that includes casino resorts, local-market casinos, and taverns, all located in Nevada. The firm is organized into three reporting segments-Nevada Casino Resorts, Nevada Locals Casinos, and Nevada Taverns-and has been publicly traded since its incorporation in 1998, with headquarters in Las Vegas.

Recent quarterly filings (Q2 2024) show the company generated approximately $460 million in total revenue, with gaming revenue contributing roughly 55 % and food-beverage/tavern sales the remaining 45 %. Same-store gaming revenue grew year-over-year by about 3 %, reflecting modest rebound in discretionary spending as Nevada’s tourism arrivals rose 4 % YoY in the first half of 2024. A key sector driver is the state’s employment-to-population ratio, which has remained above 70 %, supporting local patronage, while macro-level consumer confidence indices have been volatile, introducing upside risk if confidence improves.
