    I’m not sure but it should be NOTHING! Gambling in any form is very wrong.

    Hello Tavern,

    The world spends trillions of dollars on gambling. Because everyone believes that they are going to get rich. Or at least most of them do. Do some get rich, yes but few. So who gets all the money? The Casino’s are the one’s banking in the dough, everyone contributes to their success and makes them wealthier by the day.

    Why not try some online gambling at:
    They have blackjack and a few cent, dollar games.

    Happy Hunting!

    I would write or e-mail the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce or the U.S. Treasury Department for the information you are seeking. Also I would call Steve Wynn’s organization in Vegas, or Trump’s in New York and see if they would be kind enough to give you the figures they have. You would then have to write each casino in the Indian reservations separately to get accurate figures as they do not have to publish public records for sovereign soil reasons. Getting an accurate compilation on overseas data would be at best guess work as that would be kept mostly private but you could try through individualized consular requests. There is no one organization that might have that information for international reasons but the World Bank or International Monetary Fund might be able to steer you in the right direction. Good luck.
