Agreed, it's something that could be studied and possibly isolated as an effect. There's a need to understand how it may have affected casino revenue along with other factors such as competition, the impact of tightened border security, socioeconomic trends in border cities, how the IRS has dealt with the reporting of winnings, etc. (I see someone else had mentioned the point about exchange rates too)

These things are not as important to casinos that are not close to the border, or are not in areas that are major draws for US tourists.

However, they are important to consider in any analysis that references casino performance in Windsor or Niagara Falls. Otherwise, for a place like Hamilton or London or KW, a business case that draws on figures from the border cities could be flawed.
