The Casino industry is a huge business with billions of dollars in profits raked in each year for the casinos, their owners and the state and local governments that reap the benefits. The games of chance at casino establishments such as slot machines, blackjack, roulette, craps, keno and baccarat provide the bulk of those profits.
