Pennsylvania casino revenue record; Sands Bethlehem aims ETG at low-rollers

Pennsylvania casinos posted record gaming revenue in their most recent fiscal year.

According to figures released Monday by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, table game revenue in the 12 months ending June 30 was up 7.6% year-on-year to $839.2m, nearly $60m higher than the previous record.

Combined with the $2.39b in slots revenue recently reported by the state’s 12 casinos, the total annual haul came to $3.23b.

The overall figure is 3.6% higher than the state reported during the 2014-15 fiscal year and 2.7% more than the previous record of $3.14b set in 2012-13. The state’s share of this bounty came to just under $1.52b, thanks to its highest-in-the-nation 54% slots tax.
