NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Kevin Warren, a New York City doorman, knows what he's going to do with his tax rebate check: "I'm going to try to double it."
With the U.S. government getting ready to return $600 to individuals and $1,200 to couples as part of an economic stimulus plan, many analysts expect a jackpot payout for casinos as consumers try to turn their checks into much more.
"What else am I going to do with $600?" Warren asked.
With the threat of rising inflation, Warren believes he can get more bang for his buck by trying his luck on the horses than on food or new clothes.
"Things are so expensive now. What - [$600] will buy me one bag of stuff at the Gap?"
He spent his 2001 rebate check on bills, but this year Warren says he will try to make "more" with his money.
Casinos and gaming analysts believe there are many more consumers like Kevin Warren who are willing to use their rebates for gambling.
Sounds like our kind of guy! Full article here on cnnfn.com.
