(US).- The play of table games during August remained strong at Pennsylvania casinos resulting in a generation of tax revenue of over us$ 8.8 million, according to figures posted on the Gaming Control Board's web site.

Gross revenue from the average 918 tables in operation on a daily basis during August was us$ 54,756,909. Pennsylvania taxes gross table games revenue at 16% which resulted in a return of us$ 8,835,866 of tax revenue returned to the Commonwealth.

For the first time, the Board was able to make a year over year comparison of table game revenue. August 2010 was the first full month of table game operation at nine of the casinos, with a tenth casino, SugarHouse, beginning table games operation in September 2010.

In that comparison, revenue this August was more than us$ 20 million higher than August 2010 when revenue totaled us$ 34,555,172. However, 282 more tables were in operation at casinos this August helping to produce that difference.

When just comparing the nine casinos open in August of last year, that increase was approximately us$ 14 million with 235 more tables in operation this year at those nine casinos over the same in operation last year.
