WEEKLY FEATURE: Commercial Casinos Post $40 Billion in 2017

Twenty of 24 U.S. states with commercial casinos won more from their games in 2017 than they did in 2016. They paid more than $9 billion in taxes to their host states, also an increase over the year before, and supported more than 730,000 jobs. The American Gaming Association’s annual “State of the States” report does not include the $30 billion tribal gaming industry.
