The casinos have been asking for this tax relief for a decade now and they are finally on the verge of getting it. <\/p>\n<p>The tax break will give the <strong>three casinos a reduction of one percent on slot machine taxes<\/strong> and will see the tax rate on table games cut by half. The <strong>House voted 35-4 in favour of the bill<\/strong> and this will result in a tax break that totals $16.8 million.<\/p>\n<p>The tax break will give casinos a bit of breathing room and ensure that they would be able to have a bit of a cushion in case something goes wrong. The three <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Attractions-g28929-Activities-c53-Delaware.html\">casinos<\/a> collectively<strong> employ around 3,000 people in the state<\/strong> and have been complaining for a long time that the current tax regime imposed on them by the state forces them to operate on razor-thin margins and they are always threatened with possible closure due to diminishing profits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHYY News<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dGjDC9zXK2A?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Casinos Happy To Finally See Leniency In Tax Laws<\/h2>\n<p>The drop in taxes is a good thing since the state has increased the tax rate on casinos seven times since they started operation in the 1990\u2019s. The rise in taxes was a move to help boost the state budget. The tax increases over the years have been harsh on casino operators. <\/p>\n<p>One example of this was the tax increase imposed in 2008 which hit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10casinowebsites.net\/slots\">slot machines<\/a> with a 43 percent tax. This was done to help with a budget shortfall in the middle of the recession. Additionally, table games are taxed at 30 percent and casinos have to pay an annual $3 million in licensing fees.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, <strong>Denis McGlynn<\/strong>, the CEO of Dover Downs said <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>If you look at what the industry has generated for the state over the years, it&#39;s close to $4 billion. We are in a partnership with the state, along with the horse racing industry, and I think this legislation shows lawmakers are grasping that we need all three partners to be healthy.
