Impressive statistics, and it seems as though casino and gambling establishments are still a good bet (no pun intended)

I do wonder how long this growth can last, as I've seen stats from around the US, and practically everywhere is up significantly on last years profits, which were in turn up on the previous years etc.

How long before we hit a decline you reckon?

You know what??? Never. There may be short-lived declines (like if another 9-11 comes along) but over the long term all I see is growth-growth-growth.

More and more states are passing gaming legislation every year.

Las Vegas has 3 new mega-resorts on the way.

You know what's driving all this? Kids. Every year another load turns 21 and they are gaming maniacs. They grew up with video games and that's all a slot is these days. Plus there's Hold'em drawing them in.

Finally, the TAX revenue to the governments have become something they cannot live without.

Time to invest in Harrah's eh? Or maybe this website? (we could use some capital, by the way)
