Alberta will take in more money from gambling than it will from oilsands royalties, according to provincial budget forecasts for 2009-10. Oilsands revenue is expected to drop to about $1 billion this year because of the global recession, but gambling revenue will remain steady at about $1.5 billion, according to the forecasts. Charities are expected to directly collect another $325 million from gambling revenue, mostly through volunteering at casinos. Alberta already raked in the highest amount per capita in gambling revenue among the provinces at $871 for every adult resident in 2007-08, according to the Canadian Gambling Digest. The national average was only $547.
