Pennsylvania’s
10 casinos generated a combined $214.9 million in March slot revenue, a 7
percent increase over last year and the highest monthly slot total ever
recording in the state.
Prior
to March 2011, the previous high-water mark for Pennsylvania slot revenue was $211.1
million set in July 2010, according to the state’s Gaming Control Board.
The
primary reason for the increase in Pennsylvania slot revenue was the recent
opening of the state’s tenth casino in Philadelphia. SugarHouse casino produced
$15 million in March slot revenue.
The
Parx Casino in Bensalem recorded $34.2 million in March slot revenue, the most
of any Pennsylvania casino. The month’s best performing casino however was the
Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh, which had $24.3 million in slot revenue for the
month, a 12.5 percent increase over 2010 figures.
