AGEM MAY 2025 RECAP
1 AGEM recently released its completed Economic Impact Analysis for the 2024 year. Every few years, AGEM engages Applied Analysis for this important study which provides an in-depth overview of the direct and indirect impact of the global gaming supplier sector. Tis year’s study is particularly important as it provides a concise view of the industry post-COVID as well as a providing a benchmark for the future development of the sector. Some of the key highlights show our global gaming supplier industry directly generated approximately $23bn in economic output and when the ripple effect of those impacts is considered, total output reached nearly $60bn, a figure that represents an 8.1 per cent increase from 2022, AGEM member companies collectively paid nearly $10bn in direct wages to employees, and direct jobs in the industry reached over 77,000, which when coupled with the identified multiplier effect, resulted in nearly 225,000 positions around the globe as of early 2024, a nine per cent increase from two years earlier.

He included a summary overview of gaming-related bills and other items of interest for gaming suppliers, including those bills on which AGEM, the Nevada Resort Association, Te American Gaming Association (AGA), and Chambers of Commerce groups provided input and testimony on throughout the session. Alonso also noted the passage of SB256, a bill initiated by Senator Rochelle Nguyen in the Senate that aims to strengthen Nevada’s gaming laws against illegal operators that target Nevada and its residents. Te bill was led by AGEM testimony and support from the Resort Association, AGA and others that passed each chamber unanimously and was signed into law by Governor Lombardo on June 5.
