Industry Definition & Overview
Other Gambling Industries (NAICS 713290) encompasses establishments primarily engaged in operating gambling facilities or providing gambling services not classified under casino or racetrack codes. This includes lottery ticket retailers, off-track betting (OTB) parlors, bingo halls, charitable gaming operators, online sports betting platforms, card rooms, and video gaming terminal (VGT) route operations in bars, restaurants, and convenience stores.
Lottery commissions contract with retail networks that earn commissions on ticket sales and jackpot payouts. Off-track betting facilities accept pari-mutuel wagers on simulcast horse and greyhound races without operating a track. Route operators place and service video gaming terminals in licensed establishments, sharing revenue with venue owners and state regulators. Bingo halls serve both charitable and commercial gaming markets, with sessions generating revenue from card sales and concessions.
State gambling authorities regulate licensing, payout percentages, and revenue distribution for each format. The Census Bureau[4] captures gambling revenue within the recreation sector. Industry Bureau of Labor Statistics[5] reports employment for gaming service workers, ticket sellers, and OTB clerks. Online sports betting and iGaming platforms have expanded rapidly in states that have authorized digital wagering, creating new revenue channels outside physical locations. Operations are dispersed nationally, with concentrations driven by state-level regulatory frameworks that determine which gambling formats are permitted.
