(NASDAQ:GDEN) operates a diversified U.S. entertainment platform focused on Nevada, split into three segments: Nevada Casino Resorts, Nevada Locals Casinos, and Nevada Taverns. The company, incorporated in 1998 and headquartered in Las Vegas, runs casino-resort properties and tavern venues across the state.

Recent quarterly filings (Q3 2024) show GDEN generated approximately $210 million in total revenue, with a 5 % year-over-year increase in gaming-related earnings driven by higher slot machine utilization and a modest rebound in hotel occupancy to 78 % of pre-pandemic levels. The Nevada locals-casino segment contributed roughly 45 % of net revenue, reflecting the sector’s relative resilience to macro-economic cycles, while the tavern segment posted a 3 % rise in beverage sales, benefiting from a 2 % uplift in tourism traffic linked to the states $2.4 billion annual gaming tax revenue.
