Here is confirmation that the 24.5 billion figure refers to scratch off tickets. I hope this is convincing enough so that no more time needs to be spent on this.
The book “Legal Gambling: Winner Or Loser?” by Richard Worth states, “Scientific Games manufactures 24.5 billion scratch-off tickets annually, over half of those sold in the United States each year.”
Hey Pontiac, not much.. what I remember being posted was that tak shun did not produce as many game cards as EGC said they sold. Somebody needs to talk with somebody that has used these as a promotional tool. Never any feedback on them.
