Internet gaming revenues overall – including all casino games played online within state boundaries on the 16 licensed sites – was US$11.9 million. That’s up 15 percent from Feb. 2014, leading to tax revenues of US$1.8 million. That means that at this rate, the state will collect about $12 million or so for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014.
This is compared to the original US$180M forecasted by Governor Christie’s administration, their $160M revised forecast a year ago, and their most recent estimate of US$34M.
The growth puts the fledgling industry on the road, perhaps, to getting close to achieving some of the far more modest industry expert revenues.
