The board last week released its fifth annual Racetrack Casino Benchmark Report. The horse industry’s 2011 share of taxes from slot machine revenue exceeded $228 million, the report said.

Among the report’s findings:

• An 250 percent increase in purses earned from 2006 to 2010, and an additional increase of 8 percent in 2011.

• A 45 percent increase in live races from 2006 to 2010, and an additional 1 percent increase in 2011.

• A 32 percent increase in wagers from 2006 to 2010, but a 10 percent decrease from 2010 to 2011.

The complete report is available on the board’s website.
