Gambling revenue is what operators kept after paying winners, from state reports, divided by adults 21 and over; it covers the 29 states with a full year of reports and leaves out tribal casinos and the lottery. Gambling taxes are Census Bureau collections on amusements and pari-mutuel wagering. Lottery figures are each state lottery's annual report; proceeds are what it passed to the state.
