Re: article on canadian casinos
The proof is in the math.
According to Price Waterhouse Coopers, Gambling across the United States generated a revenue of 47.3 Billion Dollars in 2004. The current population of the US is about 295,700,000 people.
In Canada, gambling generated a revenue of 13 Billion Dollars in 2004. The current population is about 32,800,000.
So Americans generate about $160 of gambling revenue per person, while Canadians generate $396 dollars per person. A whopping 2.5 times more. Per capita, our casinos generate way more revenue.
Naturally pros go to Vegas because that's where the Mecca of information and competition is. But from a financial planning perspective, Canada is the place to be to get the most bang for your buck.
