Pennsylvania casinos were in record-setting form in the month of March, while sports betting revenue rebounded from its February doldrums.
On Tuesday, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) announced that the state’s 12 active casino licensees reported combined slots and gaming table revenue of $309.1m, a nearly 2.9% improvement over the same month last year.
March’s gaming revenue also eclipsed the state’s previous monthly revenue record of $300.5m, which was also set in March 2018. The two March results are the only occasions on which the state’s casino operators have topped the magical $300m threshold.
Last month’s results were aided by a record performance by table games, which brought in over $82.5m, nearly $3m higher than the previous table record set in April 2017. Last month’s slots revenue totaled $226.6m, the third-highest result since the state launched its casino market in 2006.
