It is kind of to sick to think about it that there is enough stupid people to keep mindlessly plugging away on these things month after month, year after year. In PA, the first few days after everyone gets there Social Security check, they flock into the casinos and lose it all.
I wish they would ban slots and force these retirees to blow there savings at the track like the good ole days.

Not to sidetrack the discussion, but just confirming that you're right---those are the numbers for how much more the machines took in than paid out. Of course there are expenses, employees to pay, maintainence, etc. It's still an insane amount of revenue though.
