Establishes new

than nine months imposed for a Class C crime must be served in a state
correctional facility. The average
cost to the state for each sentence is $70,308 based on an average length of
stay of 1 year, 10 months. Sentences
of nine months or less imposed for a Class C crime must be served in a county
jail. The average cost to a county for
each sentence is $19,947 based on an average length of stay of 6 months and 2
days. Based on experience with the
slot machine operation in Bangor, no additional criminal cases are expected |

Presented below is
a detailed estimate of slot machine revenues and subsequent distribution that
may be generated by a federally recognized Indian tribe that is licensed to
conduct high-stakes beano as of January 1, 2007. This estimate assumes that
the Indian tribe would operate 100 slot machines during Super Beano Weekends
(currently set by statute at 27 weekends per year) starting July 1,
2009. It also assumes that the 400
slot machines allowed by the legislation would be phased in over a period of
time determined by the Indian tribe based upon the experience of the first
100 machines. This estimate also
assumes no significant effect on revenue generated by the licensed racino
facility in Bangor. If there is an appreciable shift of revenue, there will
be a reduction in the amounts of dedicated revenue distributed from that
facility.
