Pennsylvania casinos have posted their first annual slots revenue increase in three years.

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board reported that the state’s dozen casinos reported slots revenue of $2.335b In the 12 months ending June 30, the close of the state’s fiscal year. That’s a gain of just under $15m (0.7%) from the previous fiscal year, marking the first annual increase since fiscal 2011-12. The numbers were boosted by a 2.7% year-on-year increase in the month of June.
