Analysis
NAICS 713290 is the 2022 national industry for other gambling industries, part of 71329 (Other Gambling Industries). Census lists 21 example activities under it in the official index.
County Business Patterns counts 3,125 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 61,272 people at an average annual payroll of $58,148 per employee (30th percentile of national industries). 36% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 11% and employment rose 18%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
Census lists 5 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 713210, 721120, 713120 and 713990. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include betting information services, bingo halls, bingo parlors and bookies, among 21 in all.
For example, operating casinos are classified in 713210 (Casinos (except Casino Hotels)) instead.
