Here in Manitoba, back over 15 years ago, there was zero gambling revenue in the province (because there were no casinos). Therefore the government did not yet have the some $200 million per year that the casinos and VLT terminals now bring in. What gets me is that once those revenues were in place one would think that the government would be so much further ahead almost instantly because of it, yet only a few short years later and that huge jump in revenue is basically absorbed and forgotten by most. Shouldn't the government be getting "rich" with such a huge boost? You would think so, but no.
nothing changed really.
Why? I know why, but I'm interested to know if anyone else does.
