What the Regional Splits Signal

Coastal properties limited losses better than peers to the north and center. Table games provided offsets in two regions even as slots weakened. Operators will track the next monthly release to determine whether the retail sports betting contraction reflects isolated pressure or a sustained shift in handle conversion.
