Show me the money ...

With over 156,000 poker machines/slots in the State of Nevada, it is not surprising to see them everywhere you turn. This photo is in the car rental area.

In the paper today a councilman in Philadelphia proposed allowing slot machines in their airport as he was very impressed that the 1,300 in Las Vegas airport generate $30 million in revenue.

Staggering amounts of money. I checked the website for the Nevada Gaming Control Board and for 2013, the taxable revenue from gambling was $10 billion! Unbelievable. The amount is bigger than the GDP of many countries.
