Article doesn't say if the Casinos take of 45% of net (55% to the State) is before or after their costs. Either way they are operating on a razor thin margin akin to grocery stores.

You can probably go to the Penna. Gaming Control Board website a find out.   http://www.pgcb.state.pa.us ..
When you look at the weekly gaming revenue. Looking at all the revenue.  Pa. can`t get a budget passed. You will notice a lot of money goes to the horse industry. We have the best feed horses around.
 
FYI. A casino host told me it is illegal to have slot tournaments in Pa.
