Pennsylvania slots revenue up 8.2 percent in June
Pennsylvania's nine casinos brought in $1.19 billion in tax revenue for the just-ended 2009-10 fiscal year, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board said Friday.
For the month of June, slots revenue was up 8.2 percent from a year ago, to $98.2 million.
Since the opening of Pennsylvania's first slot machine casino in November 2006, the gaming board says slot machine taxes have totaled $3.2 billion. When including license fees the gaming companies paid for both slot machines and table games, that figure rises to more than $3.9 billion.
Pittsburgh's Rivers Casino, which opened in August 2009, had June revenue of $19.1 million.
