However, this information is not available for every gaming activity in every jurisdiction. To estimate gaming revenue in these jurisdictions, we used industry averages calculated using data from other jurisdictions that provided more complete financial information. For racing, gaming revenue is the handle or turnover less the handle returned to bettors. We determined gaming revenue averages 19.7265 percent of the handle based on 1,140 data points where both the actual handle and the actual handle returned to bettors were available. This industry average was applied to 757 additional data points to estimate the associated gaming revenue. For lotteries, gaming revenue is sales less prizes paid out. We determined revenue averaged 48.0435 percent of sales based on 1,403 data points where both sales and prizes as a percent of sales were available. This industry average was applied to 39 additional data points to estimate the associated revenue. For charitable gaming, revenue is sales less prizes paid out. We determined revenue averaged 30.3525 percent of sales based on 608 data points where both sales and prizes as a percent of sales were available. This industry average was applied to 116 additional data points to estimate the associated revenue.
