Slot Machine Revenues Up at Pennsylvania Casinos in December

/in /by

All 10 casinos in Pennsylvania saw an increase in slots revenue for the month of December compared to last year.  The biggest boost came for the newest casino. Philadelphia’s SugarHouse saw a 63% jump.  Overall, the casinos combined for a nearly 14% increase.

Gaming Control Board spokesman Doug Harbach says the play at slots machines in December generated over 108 million dollars in tax revenue, even with fewer slot machines operating.   Gaming Board officials credit mild weather, and also think table games may be bringing more people into the casinos, translating into more play at the slot machines as well.

Table games revenue numbers for December are not available yet.

The newest casino, the first resort hotel casino in Valley Forge, is scheduled to come on line this spring.
