On anther note, found out that in the casino my dad runs, every slot machine averages $150 net profit in a 24 hour period. Take that times 200 slots you get 30k a day in NET profit. Thats 210k a week and over 10 mil a year, NET profit just for the casino. The 21 tables make 22% off of every bet, the poker tables make 18% off every bet. Those are not net figures, just the amount made. If our casino adds a KENO game (which they probably will) you can figure another 30% off of every bet. As much as I like the idea of a local group having the casino, I think they will be outgunned by a bigger company. |
Just out of curiousity, how many people live within 100 miles of the casino your dad manages?
