2012 Gambling Revenue Prediction: 155 Billion

So, with the United States economy still in the proverbial crapper, one would jump at the question as to the gambling numbers and their increase over the next few years. However, in a contrarian view, Price WaterhouseCooper has released a report that by 2012, the global economy of gambling will rise a compounded 6.5% each year and exceed 155 billion in revenue.

The key here is "global". While the report prognosticates that the United States' growth over the next two years will be much lower than normal, experts predict by 2010 that the nation will rebound in droves and catch up with fast-growing gambling revenues that are currently being earned in Asia, where the gambling craze is amongst the highest in the world.

Remember that this is not solely based off of the status quo in the country, but yet reliant upon the idea of casinos and other gambling facets growing over the years (i.e. your basic riverboat casinos and tribal developments) to make up this number, not that Vegas suddenly is going to explode again. If the country opens back up online gambling in many ways, it may be even more by 2012, and that's just plain scary.
