25 Pennsylvania slots law's local share Article has been annotated. about real money A couple million here, a couple million there, and before you know it, we're talking Fire trucks, police cars, playground equipment... and more This local share has been very lucrative, over the past decade, generating hundreds of millions of dollars statewide for uses ranging from propping up municipal budgets in cities like Bethlehem and Chester to helping subsidize schools in Philadelphia. In more rural settings, like the Hollywood Casino at Penn National Racetrack in East Hanover Twp., the money has been used to finance new fire stations, parks and other projects in smaller towns throughout the host county. Seen here, the dedication of a new pumper truck at the Union Deposit Fire Co. in development. That'll be $10 million, please, (unless 2 percent of the take is more) The law provided for each casino to pay 2 percent of their total slots winnings, or $10 million, whichever was greater, to the municipalities that host casinos. If that amount is more than half of said community's municipal budget, the surplus goes to the county for distribution to the host and / or surrounding municipalities. An additional 2 percent of the house's take goes to the host county. It was intended as a kind of impact fee, to help these communities deal with infrastructure, law enforcement and other needs that might be expected to arise with casino-related companies, until now, have grudgingly accepted the local share tax rate. The local share assessment was something legislators made part of the price of admission to Pennsylvania's casino market from the start. The legislature brought home the pork when it legalized casino gambling in 2004 through a provision requiring a hefty cut of each casino s profits to be carved out for the use of the host municipality. In the Legislature, this de facto revenue sharing program helped solidify the fragile majority needed to pass the slots law, which then-gov. Ed Rendell has just signed in a public ceremony in this photo. In the industry, as much as they don't like Pennsylvania s high taxes generally, casino Everybody lined up to do it (seek a Pennsylvania casino license), knowing what the rules of the game were," recalled former Sen. Vince Fumo, D-Philadelphia, and one of the prime architects of the slots bill. PennLive.com, Posted October 05, 2016 at 06:45 AM Updated October 05, 2016 assessment has been (for now) tossed by the courts: Mow'd That Work Out? PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS

26 Recipients have lauded the casino money as- depending on the location- vital mother milk for needed services, or a great revenue-sharing program. Either way, it s seen as a positive that the communities have earned for having casinos thrust upon them with little local say-so. In the midstate, the Hollywood Casino at Penn National Racetrack paid $13 million to Dauphin County in fiscal , an additional $1 million to East Hanover Twp. in Dauphin County, and $160,000 to East Hanover Twp., Lebanon County. And, as supporters like Fumo are always quick to remind, the biggest share of the slots take by far is still reserved for statewide reductions in school property taxes. Slot Revenue All licensed casinos in Pennsylvania pay taxes on the daily gross slot machine revenue they generate. This tax rale equates to 55 percent of the revenue each casino generates. Essentially, for every dollar wagered oṙ slot machines in Pennsylvania' s casinos. * 55 cents is returned to the state. The 55 percent tax rate is split into four separate entities- the State Gaming Fund, Local Share Assessment, the Pennsylvania Gaming Economic Development and Tourism Fund (GEDTP), and tire Pennsylvania Race Morse Development Fund ( PRI1DF). In total, since 2006, Pennsylvania s gaming industry has contributed nearly $8 billion through slot machine revenues. Property Tax Relief Local and County Governments Share Economic Development and Tourism Fund Horse Race Industry Licensee Retained Earnings It's been so good, some say more counties should share in these local shares And while there has been relatively little whining from other communities, some lawmakers have begun to explore the possibility of letting existing operators create additional, satellite casinos with unused portions of their existing slot machine allocations. One proponent of such a move, Sen. Kim Ward, R-Westmoreland, has argued that would be a way for more communities to get some positive economic bump from casinos. "I am still interested in that, but I doubt that it's something that gets visited in the next six days of session," Ward said this week, referring to the quickly dwindling amount of scheduled of voting days left in the legislative session.
