PA Table Games Revenue Up 3.4% In November

 

HARRISBURG, PA:  Revenue from table games play at Pennsylvania casinos was $55.9 million in November 2012, according to a report released today by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.  That represents an overall increase of 3.4% in gross revenue generated from the play of table games during November of this year compared to November of 2011.

The monthly report, posted on the Board’s web site, www.gamingcontrolboard.pa.gov, also shows that tax revenue generated from table games this November was $8 million. Pennsylvania taxes gross revenue at 14% for casinos that has offered table games for two years and 16% for those casinos that began offering table games less than two years ago. 

Coupled with a report posted earlier this month on the agency’s web site on slot machine revenue during November 2012, combined gross gaming revenue from table games and slot machines this past month was $248,381,749 an increase of 1% from last November. 

Combined tax revenue from slot machine and table games play during November of this year was $111,689,755.

About the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board:
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board was established in 2004 with the passage of Act 71, also known as the Race Horse Development and Gaming Act. Pennsylvania’s first new state agency in nearly 30 years, the Gaming Control Board is tasked to oversee all aspects of the state’s casino industry.
