David, that is true it is not only the increased in taxes - that quote I took from Grosvenor comments when asked by a reporter among other economic factors, before they acquired Gala Casinos.

Did you look at how much the license fees has increased also? Of course the casino operators used the increased in fees, taxes & etc tightening the wrench, as an "excuse" so the association can put pressure on the gov to relax somewhat.
