Racino/Casino
| PGRI Note: In 2012, the state of New York received more than $1.8 billion in net revenues from its state operated casinos. That’s more than twice the amount paid by the entire casino industry of Nevada. State-lottery managed gaming (like video lottery and casinos as it is done in Kansas, West Virginia, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland, Oregon, South Dakota, Pennsylvania, and, for the time being anyway, New York) produces financial results for the state that are far superior to the alternatives that involve compacting with Tribal gaming interests or the multiple commercial license model of Nevada and New Jersey. In spite of this fact, more and more states are turning this industry over to Tribal gaming interests. When you read these articles, it becomes clear that the Tribes have a lot of negotiating levers to pull. But still, the $50 million the state may receive from the Oneida Tribe is a tiny fraction of what its own casinos earn. Hopefully, this precedent will not impinge on the revenues being generated elsewhere in the state. Unfortunately, it would seem unrealistic to expect that to be the case. U.S. states have the right, even the responsibility, to control and regulate this industry for the protection of the consumer and for the economic benefit of its citizens. The next frontier is Internet gaming. It’s vital that states recognize the magnitude of the stakes and stand firm in protecting the interests of its citizens. |

Thank you to all
of you who presented, served on a
panel discussion, and participated
at Smart-Tech. This was PGRI’s
fourth annual event in NYC and has
become a great venue for lotteries
to delve into the most relevant
issues of the hour, and we so
appreciate the privilege of hosting
it and visiting with you. The next
issue of PGRI Magazine will include
an in-depth analysis of the issues
we explored. Too, the conference
was video-recorded and will be made
freely available to everyone on
www.PGRItalks.com. We’ve
received much positive feedback and
hope that everyone accomplished
their objectives. Our next event
will be held at the Trump Miami
Beach Hotel on November 4, 5, 6, and
7th. Lottery Expo Miami
is especially exciting for the
participation from our colleagues in
Latin America. The North America
track is on Tuesday, the LatAm track
on Thursday, and we all come
together on Wednesday. Thanks to the
support of our commercial partners
and sponsors, the hosted receptions
held every night of the conference
have become a wonderful venue to
talk with industry leaders from all
around the world. Please check in at
www.PublicGaming.org for PGRI
