From the LVA QOD ...
It’s true that the state teacher’s union wants to raise the gambling tax from 6.75% to 9.75%, a 31% increase. How likely that is to happen and what would transpire if it does is anyone’s guess.

********************************************************************************************************************
If the gambling tax goes from 6.75% to 9.75% that would be a 44.5% increase, not 31%. 9.75 is 44.44% more than 6.75%, although 6.75 is 31% less than 9.75.
6.75 * 1.4444 = 9.75.
9.75 / 1.31 = 6.75.
