Fiscal Detail and Notes 
The implementation of this bill is contingent upon approval by the voters of the local governmental body where the 
casino is proposed. Assuming voter approval and opening on July 1, 2010, presented below is an estimate of the 
potential revenues and subsequent distribution that may be generated. This estimate assumes the facility would install 
1,000 slot machines upon opening, along with 54 gaming tables, and indicates a potential annual distribution of 
gaming revenues of $8,3 76,923 to the General Fund and $24,963,231 to Other Special Revenue Funds in fiscal year 
2010-11. The first year license fees to the General Fund would be $419,900 in fiscal year 2010-11. Annual state costs 
associated with Inspectors, a State Police Detective, a Clerk IV and related costs are estimated to be $1,146,256 in . 
fiscal year 2010-11.

This legislation also creates the Improve Maine's Economic Development and Transportation Infrastructure Fund 
within the Gambling Control Board, into which the funds for economic development and transportation infrastructure 
are deposited. The bill does not include language indicating how these funds would be distributed, or how such 
projects would be selected. 
This analysis assumes no significant effect on revenue generated by the IiceT\sed racino facility in Bangor. If there is 
an appreciable change in racino revenue, there will be a change in the amounts of revenue distributed from that 
facility.
