The statistics of people enjoying gaming in casinos, and the share of luxury casino gaming in the larger gaming market, are subjects of much speculation.  Generally speaking, casino gaming accounts for about fifty-seven percent of all gaming in the United States, but only four percent in Canada. One recent comparison of the regional casino gaming market between 2009 and 2014 around the world anticipates almost double growth in combined areas of Asia by the year 2014.  There are expected to be decreases in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Canada and the United States to make up for any increase in Asia’s pacific region.  

In 2009 the United States was the hands down global leader in gambling, but by 2014 that is expected to wane significantly.  Some factors could include the poor economy, bringing limited access to luxury gaming destinations to those who might be most attracted to gambling, and the fact that regulations on activities perceived to be immoral or possibly even illegal might clamp down on gambling in the country.  For more information, you might like to consult the infographic below.
