Pinnacle Entertainment
Pinnacle Entertainment It was a mostly uneventful finish to the trading week for US-based gaming stocks, but one company did fare a bit better than the rest. Pinnacle Entertainment rose just over three percent on Friday.

Pinnacle stock has been sliding for the past three months. Back in November, the stock was up at $11.22 a share. Today, even after an increase of 3.06%, or $.22, the stock still closed at only $7.40.

The majority of the slide in price has taken place from December to January. While the rest of the gaming stocks had leveled, Pinnacle was falling. Friday's increase brought some optimism for investors.

Three other major gaming companies saw increases on Friday of at least two percent. Las Vegas Sands was up 2.07%, at $16.24, Boyd Gaming rose 2.11%, to $7.75, and Monarch Casino & Resort closed at $7.21, up three percent.

Fortunately for the casino industry and its investors, there were not many companies that saw their stock price fall to end the week. Wynn Resorts had the smallest gain, up on .39%. Wynn stock finished the day at $62.25.
