This month, the last quarterly video terminal payment was received and came to $354,795. The amount is the percentage owed to the town from profits involving 1,000 slots at the venue. The time frame from which the funds were generated is from January 1^st to March 31^st.

On top of slot payments, the town also receives revenues from table games. For the table games, the town is paid weekly. The amount averages from $3,000 to $5,000 depending on how much was generated during a given week.

Saurette used figures from the last six months to determine that the town should reach $1.4 million by the end of the fiscal year. The year ends on June 30^th. Video terminal payments average at around $120,000 each month and table games around $20,000 monthly.

The Town Treasurer further stated that by using the same figures, it is projected that the fiscal year of 2020 will result in around $2 million in revenues for Tiverton from gaming.

Based on legislation, the state provided a guarantee to Tiverton that they would receive a minimum of $3 million on an annual basis via gaming revenues. They will make up the difference to Tiverton after the casino has been in operation for a full fiscal year. The end of the first year in operation would fall on June 30^th, 2020.
