Since the casino opened, it’s paid Danville $2.8 billion in gaming taxes, $350,000 in property taxes, $402,000 in sales taxes and another $45,000 in food and beverage levies. Since its debut, the casino paid $5.6 million in taxes to the state of Illinois and has purchased $420,000 worth of products from Danville businesses. Those are financial boons for Danville, which was banking on the gaming venue to lift it out of a public pension liability mess.
