It's been quite a while since we checked on how Florida's racinos are faring, so here goes:

 A. Who is handling the most money? Figures are from July 1, the beginning of the fiscal year, through Feb. 28, the latest info available from the Dept. of Pari-Mutuel Wagering. Figures are known as 'credits in.'

    1. Flagler Dog Track (Magic City Casino): $1,303,062,095.

    2. Hialeah Park: $1,083,492,585.

    3. Miami Jai-Alai: $1,031,340,915.

    4. Calder Casino: $961,072,133.

    5. Pompano Park (Isle Casino): $959,547,701.

     6. Gulfstream Park: $579,223,817.

    7. Dania Jai-Alai: $$468,199,056.

    8. Hollywood Dog Track (Big Easy Casino): $447,809,587.

B. Whose net slot revenue is the highest? Order is not the same as above since each entity has a different takeout. The takeout is listed after the revenue number, followed by the state tax, which reduces net revenue by that amount.  

    1. Flagler Dog Track (Magic City Casino): $80,448,475 (6.58%). $28,156,966.

    2. Pompano Park: $79,659,587 (9.42%). $27,880,855.

    3. Calder: $65,100,885 (8.68%). $22,785,310.

    4. Miami Jai-Alai: $64,045,615 (7.73%). $22,415,965.

    5. Hialeah Park: $63,811,064 (6.50%). $22,333,872.

    6. Gulfstream Park: $34,909,263 (8.26%). $12,218,242.

    7. Dania: $28,856,420 (8.18%). $10,099,747.

    8. Hollywood: $27,198,589 (7.86%). $9,519,506.

    The total amount of dollars bet as a group comes to $6,833,747,890 (that's billion). The total slot revenue comes to $444,029,897, and the state fares by far the best, collecting $155,410,464 in taxes. Remember, only two-thirds of the fiscal year has been reported - four months to go.
