Revenue was up only slightly last month at Plainridge Park Casino, but the increase may have been due to there being more days in March than February.

Gross gaming revenue, or the amount of money taken in, minus winnings paid out, sat at $13.49 million for March. That was $826,554 more than February.

 

Plainridge has paid USD 50.7M to the state from a 40% tax on slot machines and another USD 11.4M to a horse racing fund from an extra 9% tax

 

Revenue has increased three straight months at the slots parlor on Route 1, the state's first casino, reversing a decline last fall and winter.

Plainridge also is paying out more in winnings than in previous months. It paid 92.5% of its revenue in winnings last month, compared with a low of 89.8 percent in July.

The state, however, continues to benefit from legalized gambling, with more casinos in the works.

Plainridge has paid $50.7 million to the state from a 40 percent tax on slot machines and another $11.4 million to a horse racing fund from an extra 9 percent tax.

In addition to slot machines, Plainridge is a harness horse racing track, and racing resumed last week for the season.
