The latest report on the 19 state-regulated casinos shows their economic impact on the state once again tops one billion dollars. Racing and Gaming administrator, Brian Ohorilko, says that includes all the money spent by the facilities.
He says nearly 92 percent of spending by casinos is with Iowa companies.
Ohorilko says the economic impact is something that can get overlooked.
The report shows an economic impact of one-point-zero-77 ($1.077) billion dollars in the last fiscal year.
