As far as lottery earnings go vs. the slots, here it is. There was a statewide INCREASE of 9% in lottery sales while the machines were in operation BUT there was a 5% DECREASE in sales in St. Mary's County. WOW, I did not know that we had that much sway in Annapolis. Keno odds are terrible that's why the state operates it as a revenue generator.
