Is the mob still involved with casinos?

According to the ending of the movie Casino, big corporations now run the show. I've always thought there was way too much money for them to stay away. So what's the deal?

Gaming is a heavily regulated industry. Control agents strictly monitor counts, and where the money goes.

Why? Gaming Revenue is TAXABLE. They get a % of every nickel that goes into the slots.

IMHO, theres no way you can skim that kind of money now. It was rumored in the 50's for every $1 on the books, $2 went unreported.

Kinda silly question. Big money always attracts seedy characters.

Yes. They don't care about paying the taxes. It's big money.

Not only are they run by large corporations, you can buy stock in them.
