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.

Whatever. Keep thinking that. Your positioning of the data assumes that Canadians only go to Canadian casinos and Canadian casinos only have canadians as clients (and similarly for US casinos).

If there was more money to be made in canadian casinos, I'm pretty sure the pros would be there.

Enjoy your (not) free healthcare.
