Is it possible for somebody to begin reporting profit or loss? Reporting income is a smokescreen.

Where does all of this casino money go. I would like to know. It seems taxes are always going up. Yet the casinos are making tons of money for the state, I realize they have overhead and have to pay employees,utilities and the like. But all we ever see is the millions of dollars being generated by the casinos.
A little more information please.
