Casinos and Taxes


   The last major plus about casinos is the taxes that are made off of them. A certain percent of the money casinos make must be given to taxes. This money goes to the government to pay for things that need to be taken care of. This could be anything from trash pickup to fixing public schools. Every state is different in their percentage but Las Vegas is that casinos with more than 15 slot machines must pay an annual tax of $250 on each machine (Nevada Gambling: What You Need to Know). There is also an additional monthly tax of up to 6.75% on gross gaming revenue (Nevada Gambling: What You Need to Know). Atlantic City casinos must pay 8% which is more then the 6.75% Nevada casinos must pay. No matter how much the casino must pay that percentage goes to the government to help pay for things we need.
