Pennsylvania sets table game record, slots provide 90% of parimutuel handle

Pennsylvania’s casinos set a new table game revenue record in March, led by Las Vegas Sands’ Sands Bethlehem.

According to figures released Monday by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, the state’s dozen casinos reported total table game revenue of $77.9m in March. The figure is up 11.7% from the same month last year, and eclipsed the previous monthly table record (set this past December) by $5.7m.

Sands Bethlehem, the traditional top table earner, led the March table madness with nearly $19.7m, 14.8% better than it reported in March 2015. Runner-up Parx Casino was well back with just under $15.4m.

Combined with the state’s previously released slots figures for March, the total gaming haul for the month was $289.2m, up 4.2% year-on-year.
