The American Gaming Association released a new study, authored by Spectrum Gaming Group, that quantifies the gaming industry’s impact on small business growth. Key findings include:

• Casinos are responsible for $52 billion in annual small business revenues across real estate, finance, health care, STEM, manufacturing, information technology and other industries;
• Casinos support roughly 350,000 small business jobs;
• Casinos support $13 billion in small business employee wages;
• More than half of casino industry-supported jobs are at non-gaming businesses such as local restaurants and shops that see an increase in traffic from a casino property
