Steve Bourie, a former Las Vegas gambling industry
executive of thirty years writes an annual publication called
the "American Casino Guide", which is intended to help
travelers in America who want to take a gander in a casino.
In his 2005 edition, Mr. Bourie has released the payout
percentages for slot machines at all casinos covering 34
states in 2004. Of these, the Boulder Strip casinos in Las
Vegas returned higher slot machine payouts than any other
casino, which averaged 95.24%. Although these findings do not
include Indian reservation casinos, which are not required to
release their payout percentages, they do release the minimum
payouts each Indian casino is required to meet, according to
individual state agreements. See the payouts listed on the
website, which also enables purchases of the American Casino
Guide for $16.95:
