Ĭasinos make money because every game they offer has a built in statistical advantage for the casino.
Add to that the revenue of Native American casinos, which brought in $22.62 billion in 2005, and it's safe to say that casino industry profits have been steadily increasing for more than a decade. In 2005, commercial casinos in the United States had gross revenues of $31.85 billion. While there are certainly big winners at the gaming tables every now and then, the only sure winner in a casino is the owner. A truly enormous amount of money changes hands at casinos every year.
