Pennsylvania’s dozen casinos reported table game revenue up nearly 12% in February, despite a wave of bad weather that neighboring Atlantic City cited for its casino revenue decline.

Table game revenue hit $63.9m, an increase of 11.8%. That’s a far better performance than the state’s slots revenue, which gained a mere 1.1% to $183.2m in February. The month’s total gaming revenue haul of $247.1m is up 3.7% over February 2014.

Sands Bethlehem was the clear winner in the table games stakes, with its 207 tables generating revenue of nearly $15.3m, up 21% from the same month last year. Parx Casino was up over 20% to $11.7m, despite its number of tables falling by 11 to 154 from last February. SugarHouse ranked third with $7.5m (+4%), Rivers placed fourth with $6.3m (+2%), narrowly edging out Harrah’s Philadelphia’s $6.1m (flat).
