From the April 7, 2014, Time Magazine "Roundup: The world's gambling hot spots."
** NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA, has the second-highest number of gambling machines worldwide.
** NEVADA, the home of LAS VEGAS, has 181,109 gambling machines, more than any other state in the world. Last year its casinos booked $11.1 billion in gambling revenue. So, everyone obviously is not a winner, regardless of what they try to tell you.
** SINGAPORE has two casinos that pull in some $6 billion annually in gambling revenue, making it the second biggest gambling hub in Asia.
** MACAU has fewer gambling machines than Nevada, but pulled in $45.2 billion in revenue last year, the world's highest.
** Gambling is illegal in JAPAN, but it has over 4.5 million gaming terminals, which reward players with tokens and other prizes instead of cash.
I don't know, but pretty much every bar in Illinois seems to have four or five gambling machines now. Maybe Illinois has the most?
