  • Stakeholder operates gaming machines
  • Until June 30, 2008, revenue from gaming machines was taxed with sales tax
  • From July 1, 2008, stakeholder is liable for 29% gaming tax on gross gaming revenue
  • Decline in industry results due to new tax regulations
  • Court rules that decline is not an individual excessive burden for stakeholder
  • Stakeholder’s losses in previous years do not indicate a stronger decline compared to other operators.
