To the Honorable, the Legislature:
RE: Division of Gaming Quarterly Report
Included with this correspondence, I am submitting the report of the Department of Administration, Division of Gaming (Gaming), for the second quarter of fiscal year 2001 (July 1, 2000 through March 31, 2001). As required by s.
562.02(1)(g), Wis. Stats., the attached materials contain pari-mutuel wagering and racing statistical information, as well as the revenues for the program areas of Racing, Charitable Gaming and Indian Gaming programs. Please note that Bingo revenues are now captured in a new appropriation (836) and therefore are shown on a separate chart from the rest of Charitable Gaming.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this report, please do not hesitate to contact Richard Pedersen at (608) 270-2546.
