Yesterday I went to the Chinese store to pick up a 1 ounce gold bar. The
price of gold is at $925 per ounce and I was prepared to pay the $1450 in
comp points for the bar, but when she gave me a new total for the price of
$1537, I was shocked. I guess I shouldn't have been, but the extra was for a
surchage. She said all the stores in the casino charge this 6% surcharge, I
said no, it is state tax and on gold bullion there is no state tax. She
said it is not a state tax, but what the casino gets on each sale they make.
Is this right?

It's CT sales tax.
