Values below are generated from confirmed database records. Record counts describe the verified subset of our database, not the complete size of a market. A publication exclusion is applied before every count. Unconfirmed figures are withheld rather than estimated. Use the linked primary documents to check the scope and reporting period. Different gambling formats have separate legal statuses; an online status does not describe a casino floor, a tribal venue, or a lottery retailer. The jurisdiction table remains visible as research progresses.

This page covers video gaming terminals outside casinos, not slot machines on casino floors. VLT is shown separately.
