Iowa hears licenses could boost revenue in several counties
A study by Cummings Associates projects new casino licenses would raise Iowa’s annual revenue, with Riverside near Riverside generating about 77 million, Black Hawk County proposals exceeding 90 million each, and Waterloo options ranging from 91 to 94 million. The report suggests room for multiple licenses and a total state gain around 250 million if seven communities receive one license each.
