Casinos and gambling are a cash cow for government and their take of the profits.
Very low actually in Nevada. About 6.75% to the state. Little to the feds other than normal corporate taxes.

It is precisely driven by ObamaCare, in particular the 'Cadillac plan' provision.

According to the enrollment notice, the changes are “to relieve future health plan trend pressure and to put the university in a position to avoid the excise tax that becomes effective in 2018.”
