The $10 billion in gaming revenue breaks down as follows:
•Pit revenue (includes Keno and Bingo) – $3.1 billion
•Coin operated devices – $6.6 billion
•Poker and pan – $162 million
•Race book – $73 million
•Sports pool – $141 million
Sports book revenue, which came in at $141 million, is just 1.4% of all Nevada gaming casino revenues. |
Maybe Nevada but certainly not NJ
Dubbed “Operation Heat,” that investigation focused on an Internet betting ring with a base in Costa Rica that authorities alleged generated $2.2 billionin bets over a 16-month period
This is from an operation that is mid Atlantic based. The classic line is "if you don't know a bookie in NJ then you have no friends".
