STEP ONE-TAX PAYMENTS

Calculate your gross revenues. Gross revenues equal all amounts wagered on your gaming machines:
115.00
   
Subtract from gross revenues the amount you paid out for winnings, non-cash prizes, and annuity payments, if any:
- 15.00
   
The amount remaining is net take:
100.00
   
Subtract the gaming tax and any applicable federal income taxes. The state gaming tax for nonprofit gaming operator licensees is 10% of net take:
- 10.00
   
This after-tax amount is available for Step Two calculations:
90.00
 

STEP TWO—DISTRIBUTOR AND GAMING EXPENSE PAYMENTS

You may use up to a total of 65% of the after-tax amount to pay distributors for furnishing your gaming machines and to pay your allowable gaming expenses. The maximum amount you can pay to a distributor is 40% of the after-tax amount.
Subtract the distributor's percentage (40% or less, depending on your contract with the distributor):
- 36.00
   
Subtract the amount available for gaming expenses, which is 65% minus the percentage paid to the distributor (in our example, 65% - 40% = 25%):
- 22.50
   
The amount remaining is the balance of net take. This is the amount that is subject to the 60/40 split for charitable or educational purposes in Step Three.
31.50
 

STEP THREE-CHARITABLE AND EDUCATIONAL PAYMENTS

Subtract the amount that must be used for charitable or educational purposes. According to the Gaming Control Act, the amount must be at least 60% of the balance of net take:
- 18.90
   
The nonprofit operator licensee may use this remaining amount for any purpose:
12.60
