Pennsylvania’s casino gambling revenue nudged up slightly in April as extremely hot tables offset tepid slots.
Figures released Tuesday by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board show the state’s 12 casino operators reporting table games revenue of $79.54m in April, 10.2% higher than the same month last year and a new monthly record, albeit a mere $3k more than March’s previous record table performance.
The charge was led by the state’s perennial table games leader Sands Bethlehem, which reported table revenue shooting up nearly 24% year-on-year to $21.9m. Parx Casino maintained its always-a-bridesmaid status with $15.4m, up 6.4% year-on-year.
The PGCB released the state’s slots take earlier in the month, which showed overall revenue falling 1.6% to $205.7m. Parx maintained its position atop the slots leader board with $33.6m, well ahead of Sands Bethlehem’s $26.4m. The state’s overall gaming revenue take for April was up 1.4% to $285.2m.
