  betting corporations ten percent of the  breaks  derived  from  on-track
  wagers  or  off-track  wagers,  as  the case may be, as provided in this
  article and article five-a of this chapter and to deposit such moneys in
  a bank or banks in this state.

  received  by  it  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of sections two hundred
  twenty-two through seven hundred five of this chapter for the  following
