Gaming Property Investment Overview
Gaming Taxes are Critical Assets to State Revenues
State and local governments have a vested interest in the success of our properties. They rely heavily on
gaming tax revenues to support their budgets.
■ The importance of gaming property taxes to state and local economies provides an added layer of credit
protection that other real estate sectors do not provide
■ Protected, limited license jurisdictions tend to have much higher tax rates. The more "protected" the
competitive landscape, often the higher the tax rate, and the higher the alignment of interests in ensuring the
longevity and durability of the business
■ To better demonstrate the financial impact, GLPI looked at the gaming tax revenue paid in each of its top 7
limited license jurisdiction states based on total gross gaming revenue (GGR) reported at its currently owned
properties:
