Questione giuridica chiave
Whether commissions charged on table games form part of taxable gross gaming revenue under Art. 40 SBG.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The full amount players put into the pot in the framework of the game is a game stake; the commission kept by the casino remains part of gross gaming revenue.
Motivazione estratta
The statutory term 'game stakes' is not limited to the portion later paid out as winnings. Text, systematics, purpose, materials, and game logic all support including the commission, and the ordinance cannot extend but may specify the statutory object.
