Inflation? High gas prices? American gamblers are shrugging them off — and losing money at casinos at a record pace. Figures released Wednesday show the U.S. commercial casino industry had its best quarter ever, winning over $15 billion from gamblers in the third quarter of this year. The American Gaming Association, the trade organization for the casino industry, says the gambling halls are on track to have their best year ever in 2022.
