Revenue from table
games play at Pennsylvania casinos was $59.9 million in August 2012, according
to a report released today by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. That
represented an 11.1% increase in gross revenue from table games during August
of this year compared to August 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 August was $8.7 million. Pennsylvania taxes gross revenue
from table games at 14% for nine of the casinos and 16% for two other casinos
that opened within the past two years.
Coupled with a report posted earlier this month on the agency's web site on
slot machine revenue during August 2012, combined gross gaming revenue for
table games and slot machines this past month was $270,445,771. That amount
is 6.9% higher than the combined $253,049,424 in slot machine and table games
gross revenue in August 2011.
Combined tax revenue from slot machine and table games play during August of
this year was $122.2 million, or 4.2% above the total taxes generated in
August 2011.
