sonshine, do you have a business brain? their revenue is up, of course. don't you think their expenses are higher with a much larger facility and more staff? what do you think, they bring in more money, so they MUST be making more money? GM brings in billions, so it must be a gold mine!

The state of Maine depends on the Slots to finance the welfare state. Glad to see the Slots and the State losing money. Looks like more tax increases are on the way. Just living in Maine is a gamble. Take your bets, new fees or taxes.report abusesonshine

Lets do the math.
Now 1000 machines @ $1850/day = $1,850,000
Before 475 machines @ $3500/day = $1,662,500
That is an INCREASE of $187,500/day
$187,500 * 365 days = $68,437,500
That is $68.4 MILLION INCREASE

Why any person with average intelligence put $ in an electronic machine and think they are going to win.
