If you’re finding it difficult to make the rent, consider installing a slot machine in front of your apartment; in Maryland they’re generating more than $100 of revenue per day. That’s according to a press release from the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency.
Of course, if you’ve got the time to run a table game — say, on your front porch — they’re much more profitable, generating anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars a day.
All told, Maryland’s four casinos generated $65 million in December alone — more evidence for my pet theory that casinos take in more money than they give away.
