After a challenging February and an off March, Nevada gaming revenue rebounded in April.

Casinos statewide won more than $1.053 billion from gamblers during the month, a jump of 6.4 percent compared with $989.9 million in April 2006, according to a report released Friday by the Gaming Control Board.

Gaming analysts said the figures were significant on two fronts. The numbers marked the first time Nevada casinos cracked the $1 billion figure for casino win during the month of April, and the results came against a challenging comparison; a nearly 13 percent overall increase a year ago.
