Never mind then.  The inertwebs and the Illinois gaming authority make 
  this pretty easy to research.  The "sleepy" little strip mall outfits I 
  have seen are taking in 14 to 15 million in action per year.  House win 
  is consistently between 7% and 10% of action. Usually around 8%.  The 
  bars I'm familiar with are doing 6 to 8 million in action.
  
  8% of 15,000,000 is 1,200,000.  30% of that goes to state and 
  municipality...  leaving $840,000 to cover expenses.  Even if I'm 
  missing something it looks like a pretty good investment.  I wonder if 
  I'm too late to get into the wee casino business?  Of course an 
  independent would have to give the slot operator their cut.  Still....
