Actually they lost pretty much all those casino charters several years ago due to poor performance. Most of their money is made from all the things that are charged for besides the price of the ticket: seat assignment, a fee for purchasing a ticket, checked bag fees, carry on bag fees, sales of drinks and snacks on the plane (nothing's free, not even water), and printing the ticket at the airport.
